Car enthusiast heaven in Ellesmere
Vintage, pre-war cars through to modern classics will be the stars of the show in Ellesmere next weekend.
The town's Classic Car Show will be held in the Cremorne Gardens alongside the mere on Saturday in aid of ‘Macmillan Cancer Support’.
More than 100 vehicles are expected to attend.
Organiser Tim Hunter is hoping with the support of exhibitors and local traders to raise a significant contribution for this worthwhile cause. The event is sponsored by Oswestry Classic Car Garage and supported by local traders and organisations.
Sponsors of the event, Simon Darlington, one of the directors of Oswestry Classic Car Garage, said: "This community event gives people the chance to see beautiful cars from all ages and owners a chance to show off their pride and joy while raising money for a most worthy course. Our staff are looking forward to the event where they hope to be able to show their latest project; an Austin Healey 100 which is undergoing full restoration."
As well as cars the event has attracted a good number of classic motor cycles.
Awards will be given for the drivers' car of show, the public’s car of show and also the car driven the longest way to attend. Entries are now complete but any further interested owners can contact Mr Hunter at info@ellesmereclassics.co.uk or telephone 01691 661888 in case of cancellation.
As well as the display of cars there will be stalls and sideshows throughout the Cremorne gardens, face paintings and family games, crafts and antiques, an auto jumble and refreshments.
The Ellesmere Carnival Committee will sell sandwiches to help fund the Ellesmere Carnival event held later in the year.
