Carnival 2010 - Inventions

Classic Vehicles

The 2010 Classic Vehicle show is held as part of the carnival, welcoming exhibitors from 11:30 into the display area on Edlesborough green. A good number of classic cars and tractors will be fed into the carnival parade by a marshal as it passes by at the White Horse in Eaton Bray. The parade starts nearby at 12:30, travelling through both villages and arriving on Edlesborough green about 13:30. These vehicles in the parade then join the others already lined up for your enjoyment in the Classic Vehicle display area, close to the entrance of the green.

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 here today 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. Many of the vehicles on display are in better condition now than when they left the factory that made them.

Classic Car

Please talk to the exhibitors. They will be delighted to answer your questions and discuss the history and renovation of their vehicle with you. Health and safety as we know it now wasn’t around when most of these vehicles were made. Please don’t poke around, touch, or get into any of the vehicles on display unless you are invited to by the vehicle’s exhibitor. This especially applies to all children in your care.

Classic Tractor

Some of the vehicles on display will be parading in the main arena later this 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.
