Enjoy a classic car display at Sprucefield

This year’s event will move to a new location at the B&Q/Sainsburys complex beside the M1 and it promises to be a great spectacle for all the family as well as raising substantial funds for the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice. Up to 150 classic and exotic cars are expected to be on display from 12noon to 5pm.

Special feature will include the front section of a Dehavilland Aircraft exhibited by the RAF Cadets, a Delorean ‘Back to the future’ car, a ‘Harry Potter’ Ford Anglia, as well as a 1930 Rolls Royce made from copper - the only one of its type in the world.

There will be historic rally cars such as a Metro 6R4, Lotus Cortina, Hillman Avenger, Triumph TR7, Porsche, Ford Escorts, Mini Coopers and sports cars including Jaguars, Austin Healeys, MGs, Mercedes, AC Cobra and Lotus for example.

Vintage and Classic Cars entered include Lagonda, Rove, Citroen, Austin, Ford Capri, Consul Convertible, a very special Morris Minor (one million in Lilac colour). Others include a Dutch Daf car and a Bond ‘Bug’ together with Bentleys, Rileys, BMW, Sunbeam Talbot, Volkswagen Beetle and many more beautifully preserved cars from days gone by.

Banbridge Old Vehicle Club are inviting owners of classic and exotic cars to bring them along to the B&Q car park at Sprucefield from 11.30am. All vehicles must be fully insured and owners will be asked to complete an entry form confirming this.
