Festival of the Unexceptional - 31st July 2021

Post by tonyinbeds »

Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional returns on 31 July to celebrate the most marvellously mundane motor cars

Hi,
I'm attending this event again and was wondering a) if anyone else is attending b) if anyone is travelling from Lancashire to it as I have a rear exhaust box in Lancs that needs transporting down South.
All replies welcome.
Cheers

Tony

I’m unavailable on this date unfortunately. I don’t think my SEi works actually qualify anyway. Isn’t it pre-1990 cars only?

They're suggesting cars built between 1966-1996 are prime candidates for this show, but the nature of the wording seems to read that this is not an exclusive criterion.
