26 pictures of classic to modern motor show at Croft Circuit

The event continues to build momentum in its second year as the one-day show attracted visitors from across the region, offering a wide range of attractions celebrating both historic and contemporary vehicles.

Attendees were given access to paddock areas, providing an opportunity to view vehicles up close and engage with exhibitors.

A notable feature of the event was a meet-and-greet session with Dakar Rally competitor Robbie Wallace, who spoke with fans and shared insights from his experience in endurance motorsport.

The programme also featured a stunt performance by Paul Swift, a six-time Guinness World Record holder and former stunt driver for television and film productions including Top Gear and Fast & Furious.

Swift delivered a series of precision driving displays, including a two-wheel driving demonstration in a Ford Ranger Raptor. A limited number of visitors were also offered passenger rides, allowing them to experience the stunt driving first-hand.
