Although the Gawsworth Hall classic car show is, I think, somewhere I've been to before (maybe 25 years ago!?), I had no recollection or idea of just what a stunning location it is to host a classic car event at. The main hall at Gawsworth dates to Tudor times, 1480 to be precise.
This car show is held in the undulating grounds surrounding Gawsworth Hall in Cheshire, home to immaculately-maintained lawns, hedges and flowerbeds, providing the perfect backdrop for the large number of classic cars that turned up.
In this video I film many of the classic and vintage cars that turned up for the day, many of which I'd not seen before. Later I go for a leisurely walk around, to familiarise myself with the layout of the displays and admire the cars in more detail, before standing close to the exit to see and hear many of the cars depart. The last thing I was expecting to be greeted by on our arrival was a Batmobile from the 1960s TV series!
Other highlights include a fantastic Invicta Black Prince, a car I remember seeing at shows some years back but not recently. There was a large and varied display put on by the local Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club, and a smaller but no less interesting collection of cars brought along by the Wolseley Register. Other sightings that also spring to mind include a great forward-control Commer pickup, Wolseley Six, Ford Model A pickup, two-stroke SAAB, a matching pair of Austin A35 pickups, a Piper GT, two Leyland Princesses from the 1970s, a stunning pre-war Triumph Dolomite, and a line of Jensens and Bristols including a rare Pininfarina-bodied car. By far the oldest car was a 1903 Darracq, footage of this veteran machine driving away is included in this video.
I'm really glad that we made it to the 2023 Gawsworth Hall classic car show and we'll definitely endeavour to return again soon. The combination of some really great old cars and the wonderful surroundings made for a very memorable day, the Gawsworth Hall show is definitely one of my favourites now.
