RetroWarwick Sunday 14th August 2011

#1 Post by maph2 » Thu May 26, 2011 9:45 am

Based on the success of last year's first event, we are running it again this year. Held in Warwick's Market Place, which will be closed off by the Council for the day, we can get approximately 80 cars parked up at any one time. Last year we had about 60 cars parked at once with about 70 turning up in total during the day. On site, there are 3 pubs, numerous coffee shops and cafes, shops museums and a huge castle!

Anything pre-1990 goes - retros, classics, kit cars, rods, scooters, bikes, commercials and military.......

Image

The format will be the same as last year: turn up, park and enjoy. No need to book and its free!

Quick update!

The All or Nothing Scooter Club of Coventry and Warwickshire and the Triumph Owners Club of Meriden will be meeting up in the Market Square for their run to the Coventry Transport Museum. I'm expecting at least 100 scooters and bikes to turn up mid morning.

should be a good day if the weather is good and plenty of cars turn up.

Any questions, pm me.

Regards
Matt

I'd like to bring my car along if I can get a space for sure, have been invited to other events but quite fancy this one. This is a real crowd puller as it's the only front wheel drive diesel moggy! Based on a 1951 split screen car.

Folks don't have to pre-book or pre pay etc so if the weather is tipping it down on the day, its fair to assume that most people won't come along. light showers etc and it'll still go ahead.

Our local Fiat Dealer "Grays of Warwick" has a very tasty nuovo 500 in their showroom. They will be bringing it, along with a new 500 to compare side by side.

Keeping the Fiat theme, "Cotswold 500", a classic car hire company specialising in classic Fiat 500's will hopefully be coming along in one of their 500's.
