Browns Classics Car Show


I attended the Browns Classics Car Show,

This event was put on by Browns Classics and was in aid of the Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
Browns Classics are a family business based in Berkshire that started as a small workshop that has expanded and is now able to offer full restoration, storage facilities and valeting services.
On my way into the event, I was greeted by Nigel Brown, Nigel later on told me that these events started just before COVID took us into lock down. Once the rules were relaxed, they started the events back up.
As well as classic cars, tea, coffee and breakfast sandwiches were available to keep the morning going.   

Below are my photo's from the event.

A VW engine being cleaned by a member of Berkshire Laser Cleaning. This was a demonstration as a part of the event.


This was a great event with an eclectic mix of cars to look at.
It was also good to see the engine being cleaned up with a laser and will eventually look new.
£442.55 was raised for Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
These events run monthly and are worth a visit if you can get there. My thanks to Nigel Brown and all of the team at Browns Classics.
