On the 7th of May I attended the Classic Motor Hub's Cars & Coffee Morning. I set off early with my daughter Maddi as my navigator and companion, for a morning that would be full of surprises. Driving to the Classic Motor Hub presented us with some amazing scenery as it's based at a former WW2 airfield in Bibury, Gloucestershire.
Upon arrival at the Motor Hub, we came across Cotswold Collectors Cars and decided to have a look. I was warmly greeted by Angus Maccurrach and we had a quick chat about The Classic Motor Hub and Cotswold Collectors Cars. They are sister companies based at the same site. Maddi and I then moved on through Cotswold Collectors Cars to take photo's of the cars. During this time, Angus opened up the Lamborghini's so that we could take photo's of there interiors and he also allowed us up on to a mezzanine floor to take photo's from above.
Below are the photo's

Once the photography was finished we were making our way back to our car, Maddi, took some last photo's in the information tent, I was handed a flyer of future events and started talking to Angie Ponting about the two companies. Angie is the PA to Martin Chisholm who is the Director for both Cotswold Classic Cars and The Classic Motor Hub. Once we fished chatting and Maddi was ready, it was time to head home.
If you can get to an event being hosted here weather you have a classic car or you are an enthusiast please get yourself to one. It has a very easy going atmosphere and there is lots to see and plenty of refreshment stalls. They take place on the first Sunday of every month from April to October.
