Duxford Spring Car Show - May 6th

Post by MattH »

The Spring Car Show is the place to be for all car enthusiasts as we play host to hundreds of stunning contemporary and classic cars. Car owners travel from across the UK to attend the Spring Car Show and will be delighted to talk to you about their four-wheeled pride and joy. With a wide range of spectacular cars on display, the Spring Car Show is a fantastic day out for all the family.

Normal admission prices apply for this one. No pre-booking just turn up.

I'm planning on going and I believe it's still going ahead

FYI: http://www.iwm.org.uk/events/spring-car-show

"If you arrive in a classic vehicle you can benefit from a reduced admission fee of £9.95."

I believe that's per adult (not per car) . . . but . . . still . . . cheaper than £17 adult standard.

Went to this today, weather held out.

Very mixed bag. lots of modern Yanks (Mussies and Vets with octogenarian drivers, Nascar style jackets, and fat wives).
Lots of euro-boxes - it was like visiting an NCP car park.
Virtually no Mopars.......:cry:

A few vintage Rolls Royces and Bentleys. Highlight of the day was a Hurricane and a P51 flying low.

Met a nice guy with a '57 Thunderbird for sale. I will put the details up when he emails them to me.

He was ex-US Air Force and we got chatting.

We were talking about Peal Harbour and he commented that a serving colleague was in uniform there when a Japanese tourist approached him and said "Where is the US Arizona?"

To which the Serviceman replied "Right where you Bananarama! left it!!" and walked off......priceless........
