Are classic car shows likely to become an endangered species?
’TIS THE SEASON for the classic car show, a term that covers everything from a mix-and-match 20-car gathering on a village green through to a mega-meet at venues such as Goodwood.
Inevitably, events face severe difficulties this year, leading to everything from cancellations to mindboggling amounts of red tape. The 80-car event on my doorstep had to pay £4000 for legal assistance to pass muster, for instance. Big or small, anyone putting on a show is jumping through more hoops than many of us would contemplate.
