PEMBROKESHIRE Classic Car Club had record crowds at its annual classic car show, held at Scolton Manor on June 3.

Preceding the show, Celtic Classic Charity Tours had organised a road run of approximately 60 miles on the Saturday, with some 50 cars raising funds for the Seb Jenkins Little People Appeal.

On Sunday, the day of the show, a hot sunny day saw record crowds and exhibitors to attend, with funds raised the club’s chosen charities of Paul Sartori, Wales Air Ambulance, and Diabetes Wales (local branch).

Exhibitors had entered from all over south and mid Wales, England, and even two entries from Ireland.

There were nearly 600 exhibits on display, ranging from a 1914 Ivy motorcycle to American muscle cars, and all manner of British cars including minis, MGs, and the much-loved 'moggies'.

Besides the cars, there were numerous displays of motorcycles, tractors, commercial vehicles and military vehicles including Willys Jeeps and a magnificent 'Ferret' scout car.

There was also a car boot sale, autojumble, and craft stalls for people’s enjoyment, while children were kept amused with funfair rides, a face painter and The West Wales Boats model displays where they could drive remote control tanks around an obstacle course.

Also in attendance was Blood Bikes Wales, and the Haverfordwest fire crew, who unfortunately had to be called on later in the day when a Triumph 2000 caught fire on leaving the show.

The fire was soon out, thanks to the quick response of the club’s marshals.

A pre-drawn raffle, with the prizes donated by club members, was run with the help of volunteers from Diabetes Wales.

At 3pm the show prize winners were announced by commentator Johnathon Edwards.

The Kevin Videan Memorial Trophy for club cars up to 1970 was

presented by Geraldine Videan to Kevin Crotty for his Austin Healey 3000 Mk3.

The Jeff & Sian Edwards Perpetual Trophy for club cars 1971 onwards was presented by Jeff to Jason Crabtree for his Volkswagen Golf GTi.

Chairman Mike Chilton then presented a silver salver to Clive Rosser for his immaculate Triumph Stag, as best car in show.

Treasurer Steve Wimpory presented a silver salver to John Mackay for his BSA Rocket 3, best motorcycle in show.

Peter Badham, club secretary, then presented silver salvers to

Paul Harrison for his Daimler Ferret scout car, best vehicle other than car/motorcycle; and George Hayes and John Byrne jointly for the Wexford Classic Car Club for best Irish entry.
