Classic cars on the village green

On route to last weekends Steam Rally we spied signs for the Stoke Row Motorsport Day, so with nothing planned for a lazy Sunday we set off in the Camper for a few hours in the sunshine. Rolling into the village we aimed for the small industrial estate where the event was, only to be flagged down and directed onto the village green to join the classic car lineup on display!



After a quick bite to eat we had a wander round the small number of classics, where the quantity might have been lacking, the quality was first rate with some amazing cars.








I nearly spat my drink out with shock though, when I saw this, when is a Aston Martin DB5 not an Aston Martin DB5?



When it’s a Radford converted Shooting Brake version of James Bonds famous car. There were around a dozen of these made for the factory and despite having seen lots of photos, I’ve never seen one in the metal.





After the surprise had subsided it was back to the cars again.









A short walk down the road away from the green led us to a little industrial estate, home to Delta Motorsport and a courtyard full of racing cars.













There were also a few classic bikes on offer for those of a two wheeled persuasion.





And with that we nabbed an ice cream and headed back to the Camper and a gentle ride back through the countryside. The rest of the photos from a great little event are here.
