Tale of classics with a few modern twists | A car show in the UK

You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car. - Unknown

It was a regular mundane week of WFH, getting things done and making sure everything on the project is on track. On a Wednesday during lunch I was casually browsing through and found that there is a classics car show on weekend and immediately booked tickets for it (including my friends). While they are not into automobiles, I did say something along the lines in the quote (reason for adding it) and asked them to join.

Though it was mentioned that entry is from specific time, there was checks only for tickets. It was also mentioned to wear masks but was not mandatory.

This thread will have lot of pics and though I am not good at taking pics hope I have been able to click atleast a few good pics.

1. Morris (forgot the model).

Funny thing about this was the real size dummies. Car was owned by a senior couple and at the end of the show, they moved the dummies to the back seat belted them and then drove off. Was cute to look at.
