Over 100 cars made before 1956 will be assembling at Amberley Museum on Sunday 12th April, for the annual Vintage Car Show. This event, often known by enthusiasts as the ‘Cobweb Run’, is one of the first gatherings of the year by the historic motoring fraternity so often features new restorations.
On show from 10am until 4.30pm there will be a rare opportunity to view and hear luxury, sporting and the everyday cars of a long past era of motoring when every journey was an experience and driving by no means always a comfortable pastime.
The earliest vehicle on display dates from 1911 and is an Austin 18/24 Tourer. The exhibition will also feature many other manufacturers, including MG, Ford, Vauxhall, Riley, Jaguar, Humber, Singer and Lagonda, to name just a few.
Old favourites at the event include Gordon Cobbolds, 1927 Austin 12 Windsor from Worthing that has attended every year since the first show in 1980. The car still bears its original paintwork and seating.
Examples of many now long-lost manufacturers from the period will also be on show.
Visitors to Amberley Museum on Sunday 12th April can enjoy seeing these stunning vintage cars alongside all the other attractions the museum has to offer, from beautiful nature trails to the narrow-gauge railway, a working print shop to historic craftworkers.
