Hi Jay - I hadn't realised there was a classic car show on in Bournmouth yesterday! We just sat on the beach instead!

hi ray, it wasn't a show so much, it was a classic car run arranged by the local bournemouth club,
nice run in and around the local county then later on they drove to bournemouth sea front for the weekly classic cars get together
(this last bit i did not do as i needed to get on home but i'm relaibilly informed that the classic cars meet on the sea front every sunday between 4-30 -6-30pm)

I've seen signs around the seafront for this weekly meet.

Is it worth going?

Bare in mind i'd be coming up from Portland. I only go to these things to compare ideas and have a nosey at the other cars. My poor beast is a bit of an ugly duck to be put on show.

Check out their website at http://www.ccotp.co.uk/index.html

I attended last year in the convertible and there was a good selection of vehicles there in various conditions (mine being one of the less pleasing to the eye!

).
They normally have quite a good turnout with a lot of the entrants of classic cars shows that are held locally on sunday's ending up on the prom after the show has finished. There is no charge to register or display your vehicle but they do welcome donations on entry to help keep it going, but when you look at the price of parking on Bournemouth seafront in the summer, then a couple of quid in the bucket is cheap parking and right on the seafront at peak time!

The website also contains a diary of local events which is handy if you are local or just in the area for a break and need a classic car fix!

we went down to the Bournemouth classic cars on the prom today, was a nice event, lots of variety of cars and very busy. only one other minor there a Dorset car given a badge on it grill.

no event next weekend but we will be back again soon, makes a nice end to a day driving in the forest.
