Weather forecasts of sunshine and cloud, but no rain, drew exhibitors and crowds to the late spring two day event producing an impressive array of classics, sports, kits, custom, hotrods, commercials and motorcycles with the arena providing full displays throughout the day with Concours judging and trophies up for grabs, exhibitors and competitors were feverishly polishing and preening to best effect.
With the judging decision finalised, it was an honour for the Hardtop Coupé design and development to receive the judges vote and winners presentation.
Set within the picturesque grounds of Kimbolton Castle and jointly organised by The Rotary Club of Kimbolton Castle and The Sporting Bears Motor Club to raise money for childrens charities. The event attracted over 80 car clubs with approx 1000 cars exhibiting on the day.

With attractions scheduled throughout the day to include the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Hawker Hurricane flyby, classic car auction and the annual Stamford Meadows Duck Race, the public support for the event was exceptional with a constant stream of visitors entering the showground.
