Showing off the classics

Herne Bay put on show the best classic cars and bikes in the county last Saturday in the town centre. Many exhibitors were present to show off the classiest, luxurious and unique vehicles both on two and four wheels.

The guests enjoyed six entertainment areas including Pip the Clown, Punch & Judy, Steamboat Jazz band, Morris Dancers, The Crooner and on the main stage, The Doris Day Tribute, David Sheppard and a surprise band

The cars being the main attraction ranged from early 1900’s to 1990’s. The Coastal Towns Manager (Herne Bay & Whitstable) Chris West said: “The aim of the Classic Car & Bike Show is to bring visitors to the town and to improve the town’s economy and hopefully they will have a good experience and wish to return.

“The event brings the community together, as we give local charities and community groups the chance to exhibit at the show, to promote their own organisations.” According to Mr West the turnout for the day was around 10,000 people.

The show lasted from ten o’clock in the morning till around four in the afternoon. For those who missed this show, not to worry. In August, Herne Bay is hosting another motor show on Saturday, the 27th. If you are interested in being part of it with your own motor please fill the booking form here
