Club, MGF Register, Rover P5 Club and the TR Register’s London region, which displayed an excellent range of 1960s and 70s models. On two wheels, a Honda, BSA, BMW and a cheeky Lambretta were just some of the machines lined up outside the BP Pagoda.

There was a good turnout of car clubs who had


pre-booked to ensure a reserved area at the event, including the Alvis Owners’ Club, Mercedes-Benz


The Banking packed with classics (Katharine Allen).


In the Campbell Car Park an early E-type Jaguar found a place next to a 1984 XJ6, a mid- night blue Triumph TR4 looked immaculate against the tarmac while, going head-to-head with their bonnets up, were a light blue Ford Mustang and a lipstick red Capri. Surprises lurked around every corner and visitors were treated to some real one-offs, including a pea-green Ford V8 Pilot with art deco styling, a Mk4 Ford Zodiac limousine under the nose of Concorde and, by way of complete contrast next to it, a 1927 Humber 14/40.


Live music came from Brooklands All Star Bob


Webb playing saxophone on the balcony, continuing even when the rains came down in the afternoon, and the winter barbecue, Sunbeam Café and other food outlets kept everyone fed and watered. We look forward to the next New Year’s Day event, when the Finishing Straight will have been restored and is back in use as a major display area.
