the sun may not have shone on Buckie Classic Car show 2018, but there were plenty of gleaming vehicles on display to draw the crowds in. Celebrating its second year at Cunningholes industrial estate, motor enthusiasts of all ages turned out to take a walk down memory lane. exhibitors from the local area were joined by those from further afield, including Montrose and Lancashire. Car show chairman John Clark remained upbeat despite the weather’s impact on the event. “You can’t control the weather, you just have to get on with it,” he said. “A hundred exhibitors pulled out earlier today, which meant we had 200 cars on show and plenty of visitors still came along, which was great. “It’s a shame we had to turn away 118 exhibitors during the registration period, but like I
said, you can’t control circumstances like this. “We actually had to cut back the maximum number of cars – last year there were 350 and that was just a bit much. “We were delighted to welcome the Lancashire Capri Club to the show, who said they’d really
enjoyed themselves and had a cracking weekend. “This is our second year at Cunningholes and it’s proving to be a great venue for us. Overall we’re very encouraged for next year’s show – hopefully the weather will be better.”
two popular innovations at this year’s show were a dedicated parking site at the new industrial estate next to the water treatment plant plus a free park and ride service to Cunningholes operated by Mayne’s Coaches. There was plenty to do
and see aside from the classic vehicles, with an area next to the display zone packed with stalls and bouncy castles. Many local organisations, including the Boys’ Brigade, took the opportunity to attend the event and raise their profile.
