Action Days
Saturday 11th June – Classics and Sports Cars Action Day & Auction
Our second Action Day of the year and a complete contrast to the Performance Day back in April, but with over 1,000 classic, collectable and cherished cars on display throughout the paddock area plus track action all day on the circuit then there is lots to see and enjoy.
For those arriving in cherished cars, come in via the Camp Corner Car Park and you will be directed to a special display area. The central paddock area is turned over to a display of trade sites and our featured clubs of the show including Austin Healey celebrating their 50th Anniversary, a rare chance to see many of the original Morgan Threewheeler cars, the Capri Mark 1 Club with their National Rally plus clubs covering just about every spectrum of classic cars right through to modern sports cars. Remember too, that this is an event where you can drive your classic on the circuit either on our escorted laps where you drive at a steady pace behind a pace car or open sessions which are segregated between classics and modern cars or what about taking part in our Giant Classic Cruise at lunchtime where we expect some 200 cars to circulate the track slowly allowing drivers to enjoy the experience with friends, family and youngsters.
On the day tickets will cost £10 for Adult Admission, with track passes available at £35. The Circuit opens at 09.00.
The Auction
Running alongside the Action Day in a separate area of the paddock (with its own parking and costing £10 to enter separately), is an exciting Classic Car and Automobilia auction, run by Richard Edmonds (www.richardedmondsauctions.com).
Key highlights of the auction include: 50+ historic cars, 20+ classic motorcycles and 450 lots of automobilia. There’s pre-war cars including a 1927 Amilcar CGS (est: £25,000-30,000), a 1930 Lea Francis Hyper replica (est: £55,000-60,000), a 1932 Riley 12/6 Lynx tourer (est: £25,000-30,000) and post-war classics including a superb 1959 MGA (est: £20,000-22,000), and a good selection of MG B's and Midgets.
There’s also a number of commercials, the highlight being a 1943 AEC petrol bowser with a huge file of history, including being used to refuel the Lancaster bombers before their dambusters raid! In terms of motorbikes, there’s a pair of Vintage Scotts with a combined value of £10,000.
And amongst the automobilia, there will be a large collection of rare motoring enamel advertising signs, many worth several thousand pounds.
