We had a fantastic day at the Vantom Overdrive Motor Show a few weeks ago.

Held at Vantom Village at Patchings Art Centre, the event brought together a brilliant mix of classic cars and like-minded owners.

It was great to meet so many fellow enthusiasts, admire the incredible range of cars on display, and chat about everything from restoration and servicing to getting more enjoyment from your classic.

A big thank you to the Vantom team for putting on such a great event and to everyone who stopped by to see us.

We’re already looking forward to the next one!
