Riviera Classic Car Show
We have just had another very successful Riviera Classic Car Show with hundreds of cars, commercials and scooters on Paignton green right beside the sea.
Pedestrian visitors could look at a huge range of entries from a 1933 Lanchester A10 to a 2024 self built Morgan 3 Wheeler, Mustangs, Morrises, Mercedes, MGs, Mazdas, Morgans and a Mercury Grand Marquess not to forget the Torbay Mods with their Vespas & Lambrettas and so many more besides. Something for everyone!
Member's car of the Month
Wayne Bendell
I purchased my Triumph way back in 1993. I used the car daily both Summer & Winter up until 2001. At this stage of it's life condition was still pretty good considering the cars age. Rust was starting to appear in the front &rear wheel arches, plus some other small areas, so I took the decision to stop using it & carry out a full restoration. This took place over the following two & a half years. Nearly all the work was carried out by myself, including some of the welding repairs. However front/rear wheel arches were left to a professional fabricator. Paintwork was also done by a specialist restorer. My 2500S has never been used during the Winter Months since 2001.
Last Wednesday in every month
We are currently meeting at Forde Hall Social Club, Brunel Road, Newton Abbot usually on the last Wednesday of the month at 7.15 pm. If you would like to come please contact us beforehand to check the date of the next meeting.
Our Activities
We enjoyed visiting lots of shows in our old vehicles throughout 2024. We’re still out and about through the darker months with breakfast get-togethers and occasional organised drives using our old cars if the weather’s suitable.
We’re now looking forward to more fun in the sun this summer.
