The Show was opened by Bexhill’s Deputy Mayor, Cllr Abul Azad, who said: “It was a great honour to attend and open the 13th Bexhill 100 Motoring Club' Classic & Custom Car Show. Bexhill 100’s aim is to help local charities, and the club has already raised over £50,000 in donations to local charitable causes in the last 13 years.” He also said “We should praise such organisations that have a clear vision to help our community, as it is this great sense of community that makes Bexhill a lovely town in which to live.”

 

 

The Show produced a magnificent display of vehicles ranging from beautiful vintage cars right through to current vehicles, together with custom and American cars and so many other classics. Every owner had the same goal – to show off their pride and joy! Show committee member Chris Speck said: “There are not many shows that match the variety of cars on display today.”

 

The beautiful weather, combined with a record number of cars, stallholders and visitors all contributed to make the show a great success. In addition to the wonderful array of vehicles, there was a 1960's memorabilia exhibition for visitors to enjoy, and a vintage fairground offering free rides to children all day.

 

The trophies presented were:

Best in Show - Paul Brailsford’s 1958 Elva Courier.

Best Classic - Andy Marchant’s Morris Traveller.

Best Custom Car - Brian Bruce's 1951 Oldsmobile 

Best Modified Car - Sam Shifty's Honda Integra DC5.

Best Commercial - Rob Gibbon's Maidstone & District coach.

Best Motorcycle - Alan Cavey's 1963 Triumph Kneeler with sidecar

Best Bexhill 100 Club Car - Stuart Kitchen's 1963 Renault Dauphine

The Peter Nowak trophy was presented to Joe Marriott for his 1930’s MG M-type.

 

Bexhill 100 Motoring Club would like to pass special thanks to main sponsors, Yeoman's Hyundai whose contribution helped enable the show committee to offer free fairground rides through the day. Brilliant 60s style music from the Vic Payne Trio was sponsored by 1066 Country Estates and all prizes were generously donated by Drays of Bexhill. Also thanks must go to Rother District Council for generously allowing the club to use the Polegrove free of charge.

• The Pelham Community Centre

• Special Kids (Bexhill) 

• 4 x 4 Assist Response Drivers
