Classics At The Castle, Sherborne, Dorset, July 19th

Post by Saturn Simon »

Attended Classics At The Castle at Sherborne Castle in Dorset on Sunday. I love this show but have missed out for the past couple of years - so was glad I made it this year. Very strong turnout - a large show that made it worth the near 2 hour drive. This is one of those shows where anything goes so there is hopefully something for everybody!

Delightful pictures, I just love the old GWK Type H, love the gas can and extra wide runner on the side... a silly fantasy of mine is to bop around town in a car like that!
