A FANTASTIC motor show returns to Maldon this weekend with a day full of vintage and classic American cars.

 

The Maldon Motor Show has been running annually for many years in Promenade Park, and will take place on Sunday, promising to be bigger and better than ever.

 

Previous years have seen more than 800 classic, vintage and sports cars, military vehicles, retro cars and motorbikes.

 

Along with the classics lined up in the park, there will be an auto-jumble with stands for all car enthusiasts to browse, auto trade stands representing ten local classic car associated companies, and dozens of car clubs which will cover a wide number of makes and models, from Minis to Ferraris.

 

There will also be a vintage fair with vintage clothing and memorabilia from 1920s-1960s, children's entertainment, a military camp display, a craft fair and scalextric/slot car racing for all ages.

 

All day live entertainment will be presented by Saint FM and will star The Kingsmen, Black Webb, Maldon Big Sing Choir, Jukebox Diner and CM2 Jivers Club.

 

There will also be plenty of food and refreshments will be available on site, including a Retro Ice Cream Van & Classic Coffee Van and a Vintage Tea Room. Numerous pubs, restaurants and cafes are close by for you to choose from.

 

Bob Boyce, Chairman of Community Services at Maldon District Council, said: “The Maldon Motor show is a fantastic event and draws enthusiasts and visitors from all over.

 

“A huge variety of cars and vehicles will be on display for free. The event is also packed full of entertainment for you to enjoy and stalls for you to explore.”

 

People can also enter their post-1975 to 1995 car, or retro car post-1975 to 2005 to feature at the event. Entry for this is £5.

 

The show begins at 10am on Sunday for the public and 8am for show cars. Entry for members of the public is free.
