Ok, so it wont be challenging Goodwood Festival of Speed but a nice eclectic and little publicised show near to me.

Some photos:

I used to go but in recent years it's always clashed with something else.
The Green Bedfords S Type Tractor Unit brings back memories as I used to drive a similar one in the early 1960's for BRS as a car transporter.
Did you by any chance see amongst the Vauxhalls a Silver Viva GT YXD 674H, I bought this one as an Ex company car when I worked at Vauxhalls back about 1971, it disappeared for many years, I'd been looking for it, as it was one of a few cars I regretted selling, then about 8 years ago it turned up at the Festival of Speed, but the new owner wouldn't sell.
It also used to attend Classics on the Common but has been missing the last 2-3 years.
The 2 photos of the Viva GT were taken 30 years apart

Hi Brian, No, sorry I didnt see it.  Looked a nice one.  I like the event, its very low key and there is something for everyone.  I was wondering if anyone knew who the Marlboro liveried car belonged to?
