SUMMARY:3rd Guildford LIons Classic Car Display
DESCRIPTION:Once again we are holding our popular display in the historic High Street and it being Drive-it-Day it’s a chance to give classic cars an airing. \nThe High Street with its backdrop of the Downs\, the cobbled setts\, the clock above the Guildhall and 80 classic cars on display it promises to be spectacular. It is very popular with the public. \nWith limited space there is no turning up on the day so it is best to register as soon as possible as we already have about 60 cars registered\, and others promised. \nThe High Street will be closed to other traffic and we plan to have a variety of classic cars on display. Pre-1985 (ie tax exempt) cars will be welcome be they veteran\, vintage\, classic\, or other exceptional cars (competition\, expedition\, super\, or hyper cars etc). \nThe event is from 10.00am until 4.00pm and is based at the 16th century Guildhall where there will be light refreshments. \nRegister your car via our website – and see you there.
