A spokesperson for the organisers said: “The event has been organised in conjunction with current government guidelines regarding the coronavirus, therefore extra care will be taken to ensure everyone has a safe and fun evening. It is important that everyone attending the show familiarises themselves with the latest guidelines before they attend.

“Similar to the 2021 show, the exhibitors should enter the show via the Mahon Industrial Estate entrance (down past the police station).

“Every motoring enthusiast loves a good car show; whether it’s the opportunity to enjoy gazing at cars we can’t afford or just being able to spend a few hours in the presence of like-minded folk, therefore please feel free to share this with your fellow car enthusiasts.”
