Classic Cars and Coffee - Sunday 2 November 2025

I have not attended Classic Cars and Coffee since March 2025. Partly this is due to poor weather, being overseas for three months and generally because the event has become less appealing to me these days. There are simply too many modern and boring cars attending, which is frustrating as the event is already oversubscribed, resulting in long queues to enter and difficulty finding parking. That's just my opinion of course. The event remains just as popular as ever with attendees and visitors.

After returning from three months traveling the world - and given it was a beautiful spring day - I decided to take a car along.

This streamlined motorcycle sidecar drew a crowd. I'm not sure what it is. 

Lovely little Austin 7

A very big turnout from my car club: the KBG. I believe we had 13 vehicles attending.

MG A paired with an Austin-Healey

BSA 500 with enclosed two-seater sidecar. Terrific.

Skoda Octavia and Volvo

Aston-Martin DB2 coupe (for sale). This was the Earls Court exhibition car 



The Patron Citron H coffee van. It looks like the van has changed hands as there was new signage and different operators since I last saw it. Will the coffee be as good? 

Ford Le Mans

Pontiac

1947 MG TC

Alvis

A TVR leaves the scene of the crime...

A Jaguar E-Type has a little coolant mishap. 

This immaculate Porsche 964 has just come out of a long-running recommissioning that has returned it to showroom perfection.

Big dog resting in the shade. It's gonna be a hot summer ahead

Something new and unusual - a Mack truck. Congratulations to the owner for bringing it along.

As I arrived on time (8.30am) I was regulated to the far end of the car park. This is at the end of the show when most of the cars had already left, but in the background you can see a perfect example of my disillusion with this event - why are all these bog-standard modern cars allowed into the event, taking up space? This is a major frustration when the organizers let just about anything in.We know why.....

This photo was taken earlier when I first parked up. I parked with vacant spaces either side of me so the 4x4 came in after me. Well, the organizers do advertise the event as "Not Just Classic Cars and Coffee"... so there we have it. 

Next show is 7 December 2025. There is also a driving event on Sunday 16th November too. Check out their Facebook page for details.

Roll, roll, roller

Ja Skoda!

This was the opportunity to take the Leader on a good long run to help cook off the oil residue in the pipes. The bike ran pretty well, but I feel I will need to re-lube the gearbox as its a bit 'gluggy.'

1936 Buick and 1928 Dodge

BMW 3.1

This magnificent car still has its original tool box in the boot. Absolutely lovely machine.

The KBG was well represented today. And this was only a small subset of the club who managed to park together.

A very mixed group from Britain, Germany, Czechoslovakia and East Germany

The Buick and Dodge head off. The Dodge is planned to compete in Lake Perkolilli later this year.
