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.

I recently attended the Noggin, Nosh and Natter event at the George Inn, Longbridge Deverill, this event is held annually on the last Wednesday of July.

It began 37 years ago as an event for vehicles of interest by John Pomeroy that had 4 vehicles attend and has since grown into a huge event with commercial vehicles, steam engines, motor bikes and cars that use the pub car park and the surrounding fields to exhibit.

As well as the vehicles, there were lots of different food and drink vendors and a park for children to play in.

Below are my photo's from the event

Mind if I drive??

This Vauxhall Victor Deluxe F Series 2 was my car of the event. 

This Austin is doing well for a 91 year old truck.

What can be said about this event, it was packed, the event was not due to start until 4pm, the first vehicle arrived at 8am. By the time I left, loads more were going in.

There are lots of different food to try from the food in the pub to barbecue, chilli and more.

Great atmosphere at the event, owners happy to chat about their vehicles.

I'm looking forward to next years event.

Thanks to Laurie Creighton for allow me to use the photo.
