Carnival 2008 - Fairy Tales
Classic Vehicle Display
There are many different names for and types of classic vehicles. Veteran, vintage, historic, saloons, convertibles, sports, racing, motorcycles, vans, tractors, lorries, cars, mass produced, hand built, specialist vehicles such as fire engines. Even an old lawnmower has been seen displayed on the green! The list is almost endless, but any vehicle that puts a smile on your face when you see it is almost certainly a classic.
A lot of the exhibitors are members of specialist clubs that deal solely with one marque of vehicle, or maybe one type such as tractors. They are all very proud of their vehicles, most of which they have lovingly restored or renovated. Most of the vehicles on display are in better condition now than when they left the factory that made them.
Please talk to the exhibitors. They will be delighted to answer your questions and discuss the history of their vehicle with you. Health and safety wasn’t around when most of these vehicles were made, so it helps if you (or your children) don’t poke around or touch any of the vehicles unless allowed to by the vehicle’s exhibitor.
Some of the vehicles will take part in a display in the main ring later in the afternoon. There is not enough time or room for all the classic vehicles to take part in the arena parade, so if you want to see them all please visit the display area.
