Festival of the Unexceptional

[6] The event returned in 2015 with over fifty cars showcased in the concours, with Best in Show awarded to a 1978 Ford Escort 1600 and second place going to a 1978 Fiat 127.

[9] The winning Escort's owner described the car as "something of a family heirloom" that had been bought new by his father and later restored after it was nearly written off following an accident.

[10][11] At the 2016 event there were forty-five cars displayed on the concours; Best in Show was won by a 1980 Morris Marina pick-up and second place was taken by a 1979 VW Golf L. The People's Choice was awarded to a 1968 Hillman Minx estate.

Fifty cars took part in the main concours; Best in Show was a 1977 Chrysler Alpine, one of only thirteen Alpines left on UK roads,[3] which had been fully restored by an enthusiast of the marque who had spent over 1,000 hours working on the car and had sourced the seat fabric from the last roll of original material from France.

[8][15] Second place went to a 1981 Datsun Bluebird GL saloon and the People's Choice award was won by a 1982 Fiat Strada 65CL.

Best in Show was won by a 1977 Morris Marina 1.3 Deluxe Estate, which the owner had rescued from being scrapped when the garage that housed it was scheduled for demolition.

[18] For the first time a special Chairman’s award was given to an immaculate 1997 Suzuki Baleno Saloon which was restored by a team of school friends.
