This is a photograph
of my son, Connor with my 1930 Big Nine, receiving the trophy for best
pre war car at the recent Prestatyn Car Show in May.
Prestatyn Classic
Car Show, 29th May 2006
Approximately 150 cars
attended the 2006 Prestatyn Classic Car Show on Bank Holiday Monday and
although the day had a very wet start, it brightened up after lunch and
some glorious sunshine followed.
The show is held in the
centre of the seaside town but a free bus in the form of a 1939 Leyland
Tiger takes passengers to the sea front every thirty minutes. All makes,
models and ages of cars were present including two Standards and a
number of Triumphs.
The organisers present
a full range of "Best in Class" prizes sponsored by the Town
Council and this year the prize for the "Best Pre War Car" was
awarded to a 1930 Standard Big Nine fabric Saloon owned by Wirral Group
member Bryn Heeley.
This show gets better
and better each year and is well worth a visit if you are looking for a
pleasant day out. Every entrant at the show receives two complimentary
lunch passes . . . so, there is such a thing as a free meal ticket!!
