The name was a problem in some ways, as our ethos has always been All Wheels are Welcome, not actually just rusty stuff. We did not want any entry criteria at all as that inevitably leads to people complaining about that is/isn't worthy.
The ticketing is something we're not happy about but stems from the fact that the people had to buy tickets in the museum and the only way for us to have sight of the cars booked in was with an entirely different system. It added complications we didn't really want, and yes, there was conflicting info here and there. Food for thought for sure.
Similarly, the original intention was only to have Vanden Plas parking. Mayfair was drive by exceedingly strong ticket demand.
Communication - yes, we're probably guilty of too much FB but we didn't really have any other one place that people were engaging with so strongly. Something to consider next time.
Overall, the day itself seemed to go very well. Having two arrival times raised some eyebrows but the result was we were never swamped.
Thanks for the feedback. It'll be included in our post-event review.
