After a quick snack and wishing we'd brought jumpers (its funny when you feel chilly and its 20°C) we set off. Lily clutching her I Spy Classic Cars book once more and posing in front of cool stuff.
Heading back to the main field, it was a real mix of marques.
Lily was busily (with help from mummy and daddy) ticking off more cars in her book.
One model that wasn't in, but would surely have been a top scorer was this amazing Jaguar XJ220S, one of less than 300 cars built and only six of those were the S version. The standard car came with 550hp, the S upped that to almost 700! This thing had a crowd round it all day.
The owner was seen lurking nearby most of the day in his matching t-shirt!
There was a good selection of bikes as well, but we only saw a handful as the rest had gone on a cruise for the morning, Lily was in time to wave the last few away.
Ferraris were there in big numbers too, with a brace of modern ones as well as some 1980s and an ex Schumacher Formula 1 car as well. Hidden to the side were some replicas based on MR2s, the owner was letting anyone have a sit in.
We headed back to the Camper for lunch and a rest, Lily was getting tired so I had a quick walk round on my own to see the last few cars.
The mention of ice creams had Lily on her feet and we headed for the shortened queue, before demolishing some cold snacks.
With the late arrivals looked over.
We loaded up and followed a 911 out of the show and cruised home, Lily snoozing as soon as we hit the main road!
It wasn't the biggest show ever, but it was free and there were some amazing cars on display. There are more photos here
