ONE of the most unusual car events – and highly popular – takes place on July 27 at Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire.
It will celebrate the 10th year of Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional which draws those who love to view ‘ordinary’ cars from the 70s, 80s and 90s still on the road.
Many of these models were much maligned in their day.
The festival has been called as the world’s largest display of ‘mundane motors’.
Its main competition is the Concours d’Ordinaire which is limited to 50 entries.
This year’s event includes the Retro Repmobile competition.
According to the organisers, it attracts models such as a poverty-spec Peugeot 405 or a simple Ford Sierra.
The festival features live entertainment and the appearance of special guests.
