I haven't seen any mention of it on here yet but is anyone going to the Vauxhall show at Beaulieu Motor Museum this Sunday 26th?

I heard about this as was recently at Beaulieu, but I couldn't exactly work out if it was a Vauxhall-only event?!?!


July 26 2015 promises a great day out at Beaulieu for all Vauxhall owners and enthusiasts; whether you drive a Corsa, RX8 or something a little older such as a Model A, all are welcome!

Also har har at Benn being on the website with his cheeky wave.

We've been to both the two years before. I get a 10 car stand everyday. As as said it's local to me/us.

IT was billed as "big as Simply Ford" which is a big event with loads of cars.
Sadly there where maybe 50 cars there..lol No trade stands or anything. Few food vans.
2nd year, about 60 cars. 1 crap trade stand, no food vans.

Once you've been once and looked around the museum, the "Top gear" bit which isn't the cars from the show if you look hard enough at them.
The "great" "lords" house is dull. Unless your in to old houses.

But the grounds are nice, and if like me you sweet talk a marshal you can get a few cars in to the ruins of the old abbey..

I use it as a photo op more than anything. And yes i'm on the site banner, i came 2nd place in the "people choice" (we didn't even know about it till i have a bit of paper under my wiper telling me so) last year Twag came 3rd iirc
Both of beaten by people that had more friends to vote...

Nice show, but it needs more cars and traders to be there. But it's still young at the mo, If it carries on it will get better.
Not worth a mega long drive yet tho.
