Attractions We are delighted to welcome a full array of car clubs to this year's show. Please see below for an insight into the various themes of their displays. We would also like to offer a special mention to those marques, models and clubs who are joining us at the show to celebrate their landmark anniversaries: 100th anniversary of Jowett 70th anniversary of the Wolseley Hornet 50th anniversary of the Morris Register car club 50th anniversary of the Rochdale Owners Club 40th anniversary of the Hillman Avenger 25th anniversary of the Rover P5 Club Club stands 2CV GB
Organisers are calling this stand the ‘dream' 2CV garage. The club display will feature several very rare variants of this popular classic. The highlight will be this previously unseen 1957 2CV van. Built in Slough and restored over 30 years, it is the only restored vehicle of its type. Space allowing, the team is also hoping to display a ‘modern' development, or a unique French pick-up
Daimler & Lanchester Owners Club
Pride of place is the 1955 Daimler Conquest Roadster. The first time it has been on display at this show, this Daimler is one of only 60 ever manufactured. Producing 100bhp, this 100mph classic is one of only a handful on UK roads today. Together with its rare fully-automatic gearbox, it has illuminated masts on the rear wings, which were marketed as and aid to lady drivers whilst reversing.
Somerset and District Car Club
During the last few months, Top Gear has destroyed two perfectly good Marinas and an MG Maestro. As an act of defiance, the club will exhibit two very rare cars: a Morris Marina 1300 Automatic; and a MG Maestro 1600. The display is aptly called 'The ones that got away'. The display will also feature full-size cardboard images of Clarkson, May and ‘the Hamster' deliberating how to best destroy the cars, from a selection of angle grinders, mallets and mock explosives. Austin Healey Club
The sensational 1960 AH3000 Mk2I on display has already won the National Concourse. The team is also hoping to bring a Frogeye Sprite and the Austin Healey Endurance Car that has just captured the 4-cylinder speed record for the 1000Km, at an average speed of 148.5mph. Rochdale Owners Club
