Great Day at Vauxhall Motors for North Cheshire Classic Car Club Show
| Author: North Cheshire Classic Car Club | Published: 16th August 2013 10:02 |
The sun only showed its face once or twice but that did not dampen the spirits of the participants and visitors to the North Cheshire Classic Car Club Annual Show held at Vauxhall Motors, Ellesmere Port on August 11th.
By 9.00am the cavalcade into the showground consisted of lovingly restored classic cars ranging from Ferraris to Morris eights.
Over 200 classic vehicles attended the show and a steady flow of visitors were treated to a varied collection of vehicles from brewery drays, military vehicles, DeLorians and DRKs, Jaguars and MGs, and in some cases vehicles, from different decades, "coming home" to their birthplace at Vauxhalls.

Owners and their vehicles had travelled from all over the Northwest to attend the event and a blue Ferrari even managed the trip from Birmingham.
A number of Car Clubs vied for the best club stand, putting on colourful displays with the winners being the Alfa Romeo Club based in North Wales. Best car of the show was won by the very proud owner of a beautifully maintained Porsche 356 Super.
Alongside the show were a bevy of trade and charity stands to keep those not interested in historic vehicles amused and also rides to keep the little ones happy too. Pete the Butcher from Bromborough, with his Hog Roast, along with others did a great job of keeping everyone fed and watered.

The event is a non-profit making event for the North Cheshire Classic Car Club, but with the club members working together in conjunction with visitor numbers the event raised over £1,000 to be shared between Help for Heroes (Vauxhall Motors' nominated charity) and four local charities.
A great day was had by all.

The DRK club had six of their members at the event. Only 58 DRKs were built, just down the road from the
show.
The Wallasey Motor Club brought several of their competition cars for those who liked more action.
