Heavy rain cancels classic motoring event

An event much looked forward to by motoring enthusiasts’ and the public alike was cancelled due to heavy rains over the weekend. The events were the annual Coventry Festival of Motoring on Saturday and Sunday, and the Classic Car Show at Himley Hall, Dudley, on Sunday which would have been an undoubted success with more than 500 cars entered for the Coventry event alone.

Both venues were completely waterlogged before the weekend rains making it impossible to hold this part of the festival. Part of the weekend was to include a parade around Warwickshire, and was organised by the Coventry Transport Museum. For those of you who have not paid a visit to this motoring museum, it is something that is to be recommended with over 240 cars, commercial vehicles and buses as well as around 100 motor cycles, which is the largest collection of British road transport with admission being free of charge.
