Chrome Sparkles at Sherborne Castle (Part 3)

 

A small recap of my "No. 2" article, if I may. Each July, just for one day, the Wingfield-Digby family put on one of the best shows of automotive excellence in England that I have had the pleasure to attend. The venue is the historically highly-significant Sherborne Castle in Dorset county, England.

During the one day car show the vehicles on display are a wonderful surprise as each year as many cars come from enthusiast's clubs as do those from ordinary folks who bring their own treasured classic car for others to enjoy. I hope that you enjoy these as much as I have from the recent car show posts that TG has kindly given us.

Firstly some magnificent 'oldies' (the German flag flying behind does not show the car's country of manufacture):

Thanks TG Gurus! I have been lucky enough to have a pass for each of the past 3 years and indeed stayed from early 'til late. Each year has a slightly different mix of cars really by chance rather than for a particular theme showing that there is a lot of lovely metal tucked-away out there. Some cars there that you can walk right up to (but please don't touch!) are valued in 'telephone numbers'.

 

 Having said "no theme" in particular, last year was Aston Martin's 100th anniversary, hence the particularly good turn out of Astons.
