The Seymours Woking Car Show returned last Sunday (20 September), firing on all cylinders and taking over the town centre with its diverse display of classic, custom and American cars.
Popular with visitors of all ages, this year’s event recorded its highest footfall, providing a welcome boost for retailers and creating a lively buzz in town.
More than 100 privately owned cars lined the pedestrian parts of town, interspersed with a selection of replica movie cars and characters.
Event organiser, Terry Fox, a classic car enthusiast from Horsell, said: “I’m so pleased to have delivered another successful event for the town and enormously grateful for the support of our sponsors, Seymours Woking, McLaren Automotive and Hilton Woking, who made it possible.
“There would, of course, be no event without the privately owned cars on display. Their colourful paint jobs and high-shine finishes looked even more impressive in an urban setting.
“I’m truly grateful to our exhibitors who got up early on Sunday morning and committed to spending the whole day in town. I hope everyone found it an enjoyable and rewarding experience.”
The models on display included a McLaren 750S, a Lamborghini Aventador with Italian stripe detail, an attractive blue and cream Panther Kallista Convertible, a Triumph Herald 13/60, a vintage Aston Martin DB4, a Daytona Blue Pearl Nissan GTR, and the Hogsback Brewery’s custom bike with beer barrel sidecar.
At midday, the 50-strong Woking Rock Choir performed on the steps of Jubilee Square.
Visitors could vote for their favourite vehicle on display. The winner, receiving three times as many votes as any other vehicle, was a 1956 Ford F100 pick-up truck with a 5.7 V8 engine and automatic T350 gearbox.
The owner, John Crittenden from Datchet, was awarded an overnight stay for two, with breakfast, courtesy of sponsor, Hilton Woking.
