Auto Fest

I’m afraid I have no deals for you. However, I can give you some Black Friday Automobiles (And Motorbikes)!! 😎

Pleased to finally be able to announce that we raised £2,353.74 at this years Auto Fest for Onside Independent Advocacy.

We pride ourselves on being an event for everyone, this is proven by the wide variety of vehicles who joined us on the day.

Thank you to everyone who supported the event and in doing so have contributed to making a difference within Herefordshire and Worcestershire 😊

Thank your for your positive feedback, your view on the event and for your support again this year, Lee!

Amazing photos as always, loving the drone shots too. Thank you for helping to capture Auto Fest 2023 event day!

Hopefully the next post you’ll see from me will be revealing the grand total of what we have raised this year 😊👍

Hoping you’ve all had a good Bank Holiday Monday!

There have been so many great events going on this weekend. However just as important as getting out and about in our pride and joys is having the right insurance cover.

Thank you to Abbeyfields Insurance for supporting our event this year. They provide a great range of cover to suit all needs. So please do give them a call and get a quote when your renewal is due. Local companies supporting local events and causes, that’s a plus in my book!

Oh & nice RS2000 too! 😎

We would also like to say a big thank you to the legend that is Morgan Motor Company! They have supported us since our first event in 2018, providing people with the opportunity to have a look at their cars and find out more about Morgan Motor Company.

Morgan Motor Company really are a pillar of the British Automotive Industry and have been a welcome addition to our event field. Thank you for your continued support! 😊

We would like to thank Tim Jones - Alpine Centre Banbury, and his team, for this years fantastic line up. The quartet of Alpine A110 really did stand out!

Thank you for your continued support at our events 😊

Best Motorbike On The Day 2023 went to this 1964 Triumph T100ss.

This motorbike has spent its entire life in the Bromsgrove area. Owned by Bob the last 10 years, who has spent many hours getting it to its current condition. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Bob! 🏆

A huge thank you to the ever talented Ben Townsend for this great video from our event day. You’ve done a superb job in capturing so many of the vehicles!

AutoFest 2023 Join us on our recent trip to Autofest.

The ‘Best Car On The Day 2023’ trophy went to this stunning Ford Capri R3 3100.

Owned for over 40 years, you could really tell the amount of hours that have gone into keeping this Capri in tiptop condition.

Congratulations Des! 🏆

Thank you to Drew from .Media_ for these great photos and helping to capture our day.

A brief interlude from trophies and thank yous to share this video created by , on Twitter and YouTube. It features a great mix of cars from this years event, so please do give it a watch.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together Mark, and for helping to capture our day 😎👍

Auto Fest Car Show 2023 We braved the rain and it paid off, as when we got there the clouds parted and the sun came out.This is ...

1st Place in this years Show & Shine competition was this 1994 Mini Cabriolet. This is one of only 16 on the road in the UK at the moment, less than 300 were built. What’s even more impressive about this Mini is that it’s a daily driver, even doing the school runs yet remains in this outstanding condition. This is due to its owners hard work & elbow grease.

Congratulations Adam! 🏆

2nd Place in this years Show & Shine Competition was this Custom 1950 Austin Devon Pickup Truck.

Safe to say this modified Devon truck really is a work of art!

Congratulations Barry! 🏆

3rd Place in this years Show and Shine was this ‘59 Cadillac Convertible.

Owned by Frank for over 30 years, it’s safe to say this Cadillac is full of character, as well as full size!

Congratulations Frank! 🏆

The judges had their work cut out having to choose from this years Show & Shine line up!

4th Place went to Beth with her 200SX. It brightened the field just as much as catching the judges eye.

Congratulations Beth! 🏆

I wanted to say a big thank you again to everyone who supported Auto Fest 2023 last Sunday.

Over the coming days I will be announcing Show & Shine winners as well as Best Car & Motorbike on the day, for those who missed it. Along with many thank you’s to those who supported the event. This week I have mostly felt like this chap, event come down I think. Seriously though whoever did this, brilliant! 😄

A huge thank you to everyone who attended Auto Fest today!

The success of this event is all down to you all for attending and making it what it is. An amazingly diverse group, with the same positive outlook and for making everyone feel welcome! Credit to you all!

We were also so lucky with the weather!

Will let you know the total raised when I have it!

Thank you all again 😊

Auto Fest 2023 is tomorrow!

We look forward to greeting you all from 10am. The post code for your GPS is B60 4AL.

Entry is £5 per car, £3 per motorbike, £1 on foot. Cash is preferred to save queues on the gates but card readers will be available. Caterers are taking both payment methods.

As always, please drive respectfully to and from the event. The police have been informed & may well be in attendance.

For those attending in low vehicles when entering the main gates to Stoke Prior Sports and County Club, please swing wide, keep to the left and take it slow. We will have a volunteer there from 10am to watch you through.

Right I think that’s everything.

See you in the morning and enjoy your day! 😊

Nearly event day now & just a little reminder of why we are fundraising. I have run this event for the past 6 years to raise money for people within Herefordshire & Worcestershire who really need support.

If you knew the kind of issues the staff and amazing volunteers support people with on a daily basis it would blow your mind. Onside Independent Advocacy support some of the most vulnerable, isolated and disadvantaged people in our local communities. And they do this with a smile on their face whilst doing their absolute best for those they support.

So while the event combines my passion for all things automotive, every penny raised on the day goes to getting help to the people who need it most.

I could have used this post to share just some of amazing vehicles we have joining us on Sunday, but you know what you’re bringing, as do I. For those who have been before you know it’s a great day out. For those that haven’t, the event has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where like mined people with a genuine passion for the scene get together regardless of their preferences. Bring your families, bring the dog, everyone’s welcome!

So let’s all just have a great day for a small entry fee, oh and keep your fingers crossed for the weather 😄🤞
