Past Event

Wroughton Classic

  • Date
    6th August 2006
  • Place
    Red Barn Gate, Science Museum, Wroughton, Wilts, SN4 9NS
This excellent event was at Wroughton Airfield, about three miles South of Swindon (around 45 mins from Oxford). The whole event was created by Greg Dunningham of JEC Swindon. He expended a huge effort in doing this and he very much deserves our support.
Wroughton is the home of the largest facility of the National Collections of the Science Museum (18 000 objects). Museum exhibits range from the Lockheed Constellation airliner to MRI scanners.

Beside the museum the event had a huge collection of displays and stalls. As well as Car Sales and Autojumble there were:
Classics: There were some 30 classic car and bike clubs attending, besides individual owners. The Daimler & Lanchester Owners' Club alone took 70 cars.

Competitions: Lots of these from Concours to Best Theme - see their web site.
