The classic car show held at Weston Park in Staffordshire is the subject of today's hefty upload. The MX5 was our chosen steed for the trip over to this large classic cars event although it nearly didn't make it (more details in the vid), this again prompting thoughts that a properly old classic car suitable for long trips would be a good addition to our motoring menagerie. Hmmm.
Last year's Weston Park show was a good one so we were hopeful of the same again in 2023 and we were not to be disappointed, arriving early before most of the exhibiting cars arrived. This gave us chance to park up and watch the arrivals as they wended their way down the snaking driveway in front of the main house at Weston Park, before hot-footing it over to the main showground area to take a closer look at most of the cars on show. Apologies if we missed out your car, the video would have been twice as long if we had looked at everything, and we'd have run out of camera batteries long before completing everything. Hopefully what did make it in gives a good overview of April's Weston Park classic car show, and classic cars shows here in the UK. Around 240 individually edited clips went into this video.
My thanks to the owner of the immaculate Austin A90 Atlantic DHC who took time out to talk at length about his incredible car and demonstrate some of its features.

I noticed after putting the video live that I said Weston Park is in Shropshire (I think I did this in 2022 also!!), whereas it is in fact in neighbouring Staffordshire.
