Essex Area visit to Faversham Classic Car Show
and Shepherd Neame Brewery
Sunday 21st May 2006
Although this was the 10th anniversary of this event it was new to the Panther Club and consequently we didn't know what to expect. Initially we were "underwhelmed". It just seemed to be a small group of classic club cars in a small car park, but the main attraction turned out to be all the classic cars displayed throughout the old town, which was closed to traffic. In spite of the weather there was a carnival atmosphere and this coupled with the visit to the brewery made it a very rewarding day. Some photographs from the day follow:
The rendezvous a few miles from Faversham |
Our neat line of cars in the club car park |
and from the other end - we're obviously next to the Morri- Minors |
We thought this was it - thankfully it wasn't |
Trish togs up in case Steve wants the hood down on the way home |
Hooray more cars are spread around the town |
and here's more |
and more - this is more like it! |
Bikes too - and.......... |
a speedway bike for Don and Tom to admire |
the very pleasant old town was closed to traffic |
another view of the bikes outside and under the Guildhall |
they even allowed a few modern bits of tin ware in |
Morri-minors are obviously popular - here's some more |
dry weather use only.......... |
you must be joking! |
I hope Steve takes this off before he drives home |
Some of the street entertainers - collecting for charities |
A much relieved Margaret - she should be she was locked in the brewery toilet long enough and would have still been there without the aid of her mobile phone. |
Err - where's everybody gone? - last to leave as usual |
In the group, from left to right are: Margaret, Don, Doll, Jennifer, Collette, Mark, Yvonne, Val, Tom, Wally, Steve, Trish and me (Roy) taking the photograph |

Damp but still in good spirits, the gang pose for the obligatory group photograph |
