Brigg Blog does not usually publicise events well outside the town boundary. But as our own classic vehicle event this summer had to be cancelled we are going to make an exception for the Vintage Car extravaganza at Waters' Edge Country Park in Barton this weekend.
On Sunday, August 25 some 75 vintage vehicles will descend on for park for a classic rally. The event, that takes place between 10am and 4pm, celebrates 100 years of Morris Motors and will feature over 60 vintage cars, plus vintage fire engines and motorcycles.
Over half of the vehicles will be Morris Minor vans and cars. There will also be a range of vintage classics on show ranging from Bentleys and Skodas.
The Morris Minor Owners' Club North Lincolnshire Branch has organised the event. There’s free parking on site and free admission to the Visitor Centre complete with a café, shop and children’s play areas.
Coun Liz Redfern, the leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is the first time the event has been held at Waters' Edge and will give visitors the unique opportunity to see the vintage classics against the backdrop of the Humber Bridge and the 86 acre country park. Waters' Edge is a fantastic setting for this event and will show the vintage cars at their best. The event will appeal to vintage vehicles enthusiasts and those just wanting something different to do this weekend."
Regarding Morris Minors, who remembers the small business in Brigg - somewhere near Engine Street - that did them up about 30 years ago? Weren't they mainly for export overseas?
