GOING NUTS IN KNUTSFORD FOR THE CLASSIC & PERFORMANCE CAR SPECTACULAR.

MAGNIFICENT MGs, terrific Triumphs and luscious Lotus models – 1000’s of stylish, rare and classic cars will be polished to perfection ready to take part in this annual summer spectacular for the whole family.

As one of Britain’s best and most popular classic car shows, this event, in the sumptuous setting of Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire, showcases some of the finest makes and models of cars ever to have graced Britain’s highways and byways.

Around 2500 classic and performance cars will be on display over the weekend of June 2 and 3, featuring nearly 80 of Britain’s top classic and performance car clubs including Jaguar, Bentley, Jensen, BMW and a host of vehicles spanning the 20th century.

This year’s show will be organised for the first time by Lincolnshire-based media and events business Mortons Media Group, and will again include the huge Cheshire autojumble and ever-popular car mart. Two hundred stalls featuring specialist and general trade stands will keep visitors entertained, and youngsters are catered for too, with light entertainment and children’s rides. Refreshments and a bar will make sure everyone is well fed and watered during their day trip to classic heaven.

Andy Kitchen, of Mortons – long-established magazine publishers and show organisers who bought this show and two other popular events from Cheshire Auto Promotions last year – said: “We are really looking forward to hosting this show for the first time. It has a reputation for being a friendly event with lots to see and do, and its date in the calendar in early June means the days will be long – and, we hope, sunny!

“It’s all looking good for a fascinating weekend for families to escape the hustle and bustle of 21st century life and step back in time to a more leisurely pace of life, when cars were more than just anonymous metal boxes for commuting!

“Mortons’ two other summer events at Tatton – the Classic American Stars & Stripes, held in the run-up to American Independence Day and the ‘Passion for Power’ performance car show in August – will also offer superb days out in a glorious setting.”

Tickets for the highly anticipated show can be bought on the day costing £9 for adults, £3 for children (10 – 15yrs) with under 10s going free. Normal park entry charges apply. Gates open at 9.30am.

I'm going to this. Not sure mine will be "polished to perfection", though.

I had a good weekend at Tatton, and we had a good club turnout in terms of the variety of cars present. Organisation was good, the traffic management on the way out was much better that I remember it being - no scramble for the gate, marshalls controlling traffic to help things flow.

The autojumble didn't seem to be as good as it's been before - a bit more junk, fewer stalls with actual car stuff on them. Whether this is just happenstance, or intentional to add to the interest for non-car people, I don't know.

AN IMPRESSIVE SHOW FOR THE NEW OWNERS OF THE CLASSIC AND PERFORMANCE CAR SPECTACULAR.

IT was a weekend to remember at the Classic and Performance Car Spectacular, with the fun family event drawing in a huge crowd to explore the countless classic vehicles and rummage through the renowned Cheshire autojumble, at the famous Tatton Park, Knutsford.

Long standing events company Mortons Media Group successfully put on a brilliant automotive event, with crowds flocking in from around the UK to admire the thousands of motor vehicles on display. Countless private entries to one of a kind cars adorned parts of Tatton Park, along with autojumble stands, kiddie’s rides.

Among the many highlights were the winners of the coveted best club stand which went to The Cambridge and Oxford Owners Club on Saturday and the Rochdale Vintage & Collectors Car Club. Car of the show went to a beautiful Jaguar ‘E’ Type Roadster owned by Peter Burke from Stockport.

Head of the event Andy Kitchen said: “What a fantastic weekend! There’s been superb feedback from visitors, exhibitors and traders, and we’re delighted that all our hard work has paid off.

Attention for the organisers now turns to the Classic American Stars and Stripes, June 30 – July 1 and the Passion for Power Classic Motor Show, August 18 – 19 where visitors can expect the same high level of detail but most importantly, that the fields will be chock-a-block with classic vehicles and hundreds of trade stands.
