Helmingham Hall Car Show
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:41 pm
We went to this show after hearing about it just after the event last year and it sounded good.
Basically, it is a collection of around 500 classic and exotic car in the grounds of a rather nice house with it's own moat, drawbridge etc. The owner is into his cars and holds this event every year. There are loads of other stuff, car and non car related, going on too so is a family day out. Very posh though with some people bringing tables, chairs etc and drinking shampoo etc.
On the itinery is a driveway blat for select cars from a certain section of the display. This is called the Concours Run. There is a dip and bump half way down where some cars ground out so you have to let off for that.
Did not get many pics of the show itself.

There were some seriously quick motors on the driveway blat.

I think some other BP members would like a go at this. No prizes though.
Roll on next year.
