CLASSIC CARS AT KEYWORTH SHOW 2009

This is the third year that classic cars have appeared at the Keyworth Show. It started with just seven cars in 2007, then went up to thirteen cars in 2008 and this year, with two unexpected arrivals, the total reached sixteen.

Although not exactly a classic car the total does include the stationary engines of Peter. His various engines were originally used for pumping water or generating electricity mainly on farms and Peter’s display showed this perfectly.

The cars attending the show were;

1930’s

Morris Ten

Austin Seven Special

1940’s

Willys Jeep

1950’s

Aston Martin

BMW Isetta Bubblecar

Morris Minor 1000 Panda Police Car

1960’s

Triumph TR6

Bond Equipe

MG Midget

1970’s

Triumph Stag

Triumph 2000 Estate

MG Midget

1980's

BMW 5 Series

Triumph TR8

Lastly was the beautifully brutal and very noisy AC Cobra kit car. This car won the ‘just for fun’ ballot of “Which car would you like to go home in?” competition.

The Show Committee thanks all the owners for bringing their cars to the show. The parade in the arena and the short interview with the drivers was a welcome addition to the entertainment programme. Hopefully, next year, even more local owners will polish up their ‘pride and joy’ and bring it to the show so let us know if you are interested!
