After two successful events, the next festival will again take place in Reepham’s Market Place, which will be closed to through traffic from 8 am – 6 pm.
As with previous events, this is entirely free to the public who, from 11 am – 4 pm, will be able to get up close to wonderful examples of cars and motorbikes from a bygone era.
 
Following on from last year’s Italia theme, this year will focus on Great British cars with luxury marques, such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Jaguar and Rover, as well as Alvis – there will be 10 of this rare marque covering the 1934-1965 period.
 
There will also be a range of sports cars from MG, Triumph, Austin Healey and Lotus, as well as popular saloons from Austin, Morris and Ford. Bikes represented are expected to include Triumph, BSA, Norton and Ariel.
 
Owing to the success of previous events, capacity has been increased to more than 100 by extending the display along the roads leading to the Market Place. Up to a third of the space will be allocated to non-British classics to include favourites from previous years and some interesting newcomers.
 
In addition to refreshments and live music provided by the Kings Arms, the Dial House, V’s Café and the soon to be reopened Diane’s Pantry will be open for drinks and snacks.
 
Owners or clubs wishing to display their vehicles at this invitation-only event should email a brief description of their vehicle, and picture if possible, to Peter Fitzjohn at reephamclassic16@outlook.com
 
The organisers will finalise their selection during the summer and each applicant will be informed of the final list.
