Classic car insurance showpiece 'an exciting day for visitors'

Classic car fans could attend a number of exciting motoring extravaganzas this year, but the recent Race Retro showpiece might be tough to beat.

This is according to details released by the manufacturer regarding the three-day event at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, which was attended by almost 27,000 people.

The visitor numbers represented an increase of about 3,000 compared with last year's festivities.

It featured an outdoor rally stage and a display of Alfas, while appearances by F1 racer Bruno Giacomelli plus rally drivers Stig Blomqvist and Russell Brookes provided a touch of glamour to the showpiece.

The proceedings arguably represent the kind of spectacle that classic and vintage car insurance seekers will enjoy in their droves this year.

A special auction featured one of two LG45 Tourers entered by Lagonda at the 1936 Monte Carlo Rally.

Other fantastic classic vehicles on display included the likes of a 1970s edition of the V8 Firenza.
