Antique auto show enjoys strong turnout

Fans of the kind of vehicles that require specialist classic car insurance were out in force at a recent antique auto show, it has been reported.

MotorMart organisers revealed thousands of visitors turned up despite strong winds and heavy downpours.

In total, some 14,275 people showed their support for the event - making it the second most popular gathering in the festival's history.

Attendees were treated to a variety of entertainment, including a display of Ford Anglias.

This year's show marked the 50th anniversary of the 105E edition of the car and one of the more unusual models on display was a version of the vehicle that featured on MTV's Pimp My Ride - complete with hotdog maker and juke box.

It was also revealed plenty of deals were struck at the event.

Organisers said: "Trading over the weekend was good with plenty of sales for exhibitors - and buyers finding the prices very reasonable on the vast majority of stands."

Meanwhile, Zirotec recently claimed its latest plasma sprayed thermal barriers product Primary should prove popular with owners of historic cars.
