On Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th July, more than 500 vintage vehicles, including sleek sports cars as well as huge steam engines, will gather at Hamilton House Farm near Garstang for the annual Garstang Classic Vehicle Show and Vintage Rally.

There will be military vehicles, miniature steamers and displays in a specially built arena, but the stars of the show will always be the sports cars. There’s always a crowd round the Alfas, Maseratis and MGBs!

Individual entrants and members of classic car clubs from across the North West are also gathering: The Sporting Escort Owners’ Club, Lancashire Capri Owners’ Club and West Lancs M.G. Club are just a few of the organisations taking part.

The classic cars and vintage vehicles will be joined by colourful and traditional fairground attractions and donkey rides. One of the biggest draws for collectors and renovators is likely to be the Auto Jumble where original, but often obsolete car parts can be bought. Food and drinks will also be available.

Garstang Classic Vehicle Show and Vintage Rally takes place at Hamilton House Farm on the A586 between St Michaels and Garstang. The show is open 10am - 4pm on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July 2005.

Admission is £5.00 for adults and £4.00 for senior citizens. Children are free.
