Wednesday 31st July. 2 PM to evening. Those not booked in park where you can.
This year they celebrate 20 years of Classics on the Common.
A top-ranking event
Once a year Harpenden Common, that calm, sweeping tract of common land, that Jewel in the town's crown, comes alive for half a day with more than 1000 classic cars and other four-wheelers, plus some 250 motor cycles and scooters. There you'll find a Chevy Bel Air rubbing shoulders with a 1927 Trojan, and a rare 1978 Mantra Bagheera with a '59 Berliet. Plus 10,000 admiring spectators.
Little wonder Classics on the Common, already Britain's biggest mid-week classic car meeting, now ranks among the top events of the classics calendar.
Charities benefit, too
Last year's event raised £19,000 for charity. This year's main beneficiaries will be Herts Air Ambulance, the Samaritans (Local Branch), Keech Children's Hospice and WaterAid. The organisers, Harpenden Village Rotary Club, thank all who support the event so generously. |
