To be honest, as far as actual car interest goes I fear there would be likely to be very little worth seeing unless you have a liking for mediocre, unwashed late 80's and early 90's carpark fodder. I could be wrong but it'd be more a social event I suspect. As I'm pretty antisocial at best, that doesn't really appeal.

I think the intentions are honourable, and to be honest I'd rather have a wonder around something like this than a 'Buy British' MG & Minor wankfest.

Oh, I don't doubt it but there's an awful lot of people (RR springs to mind here) who think a 1995 Astra is old and Retro. There's a fine line between shite and shit. If people with older cars (like 25 years +) turn up it'd be worthwhile. I don't find many classic car shows all that thrilling. Bigger ones seem to be worth it as there's more chance of seeing a few oddities. Local ones are excruciatingly dull. There might be one or two interesting cars if your lucky.

Absolutely agree. I find it quite difficult to even get in my head that anything made before 1983 is now 25 years old +. I can attribute this to me being an old fart and everyone born in the 80's is wrong!
