I don't see anything wrong with the Nissan Cherry, but what is the (Audi TT?) modern sports car doing in the background?  |

I think this one is billed as the "Classic and Sports Car Show", (nothing to do with the magazine) so that's why there are more modern vehicles there. The earlier one is called something else.
It's easy to forget that orange Nissan is 25 years old, and would be on free road tax now if it were still a rolling cut-off date. Yet my Firenza was only about ten years old when I first started taking it to classic car shows.
That said, I was quite disappointed when queueing to get in behind a 51-registered Jaguar saloon car which appeared to have nothing at all special about it, and then parked on a stand with quite a few other non-special almost new Jags. As space is so limited, and these are neither classics (yet) nor sports cars, it seemed silly that it was there. |

The problem is at some shows clubs book a stand and then cater for makes still in production i,e... Jaguar,BMW,Mercedes,Vauxhall etc.
I could enter my Vauxhall Vivaro Van if I wished.!!!
If you go to the smaller or vintage shows you do not tend to get this problem.
We stopped going to Ashby Foville for this reason,too many modern cars getting in under the Classic banner.

| I like that commer campervan, been liking the idea of a campervan lately and since vws are so common and fetch so much I was looking elsewhere though to say the truth I've always preferred the look of bedford CAs to vws, but commers are nice too. |

hmm not seeing it either, my guess is that you were referring to the MG Maestro???
Is that an original Supercover sticker in the windscreen?

Who me? I posted the picture of the Austin Princess Ambulance. Your pic of the MG Maestro isn't showing for me, just a little red X! |
