While driving classic cars never goes out of fashion, some hobbies have fallen by the wayside over the years. However, that’s all changing, and old school is cool again. From crocheting to bird watching, tinkering in the garage or shed, and painting, more than half of Brits have expressed interest in starting a new hobby […]

We have recently been sent some fantastic photos of what appears to be the remains of a car that was spotted in a wooded area of North Norfolk.

We talk a lot about our secure storage facility, The Hangar, which is located at Bentwaters Parks. As a location, Bentwaters is an incredible place with runways, bunkers, hangars, wildlife, and more.

Great show and the people were so friendly. My son has autism/ADHD and he loved it.
Great day out lovely collection of cars and motorcycles.
Excellent venue and show with a great variety of cars and easily accessed. Look forward to next year.
A great day, enjoyed seeing everyone’s cars.More stalls would be nice, perhaps some car accessory stalls (cleaning, detailing and gadgets)Nice to see everyone look forward to the next.
Thanks, great show at Bentwaters. Will next years be there as difficult to see how you could get all those exhibitors and visitors into the area in front of Suffolk Plant Centre? I was parked next to Steve with his sparkling MGB V8 GT. He was a happy man!
Ideal location, good varied selection of cars from the man who restored in his garage, to the high-end professional restoration, all unique in their own right. Nice atmosphere with the swing and jive music, and not a ghetto blaster. Would like to have seen more stalls generally, including an Autojumble, maybe the weather forecast was […]

Craig recently welcomed a visitor to our secure storage facility, The Hangar. While there, Craig couldn’t help but admire the 1989 Mercedes 300 E that belongs to our guest. As you can see from the photos below, the stunning backdrop of Bentwaters Parks makes this beautiful car look even better than it already does.
