This weeks blog entry is the last instalment about the annual Chiltern Hills Vintage Vehicle Rally which is a one day show for classic and vintage vehicles (including old Volkswagen camper vans) and is organised by the Game Club to help raise money for local charitable causes. The rally is a well established event which allows owners of classic and vintage vehicles to gather together in the glorious Buckinghamshire countryside. This event took place on Sunday 17th May. The new venue is at Weedon Park, Weedon Hill near Aylesbury and is a fantastic location for this great one day show which attracts well over 1000 vehicles of all descriptions and the Game Club had also organised: Children's rides / slides, a fun dog show, trade stands, an auto jumble, a beer tent, speciality teas, a pig roast, burgers and ice cream stands. I have been attending this event for over 10 years and it's one show that I really enjoy due to the huge diversity of the vehicles. Find out more about the Chiltern Hills Rally from their website here: http://www.chilternhillsrally.org.uk/ The review continues as I wander around the show.

| Lovely Jaguar C Type circa 1952. |
 |
| This 1959 Cadillac Eldorado was huge! |
 |
| It's almost a work of art, a true 50's classic. |
 |
| The gorgeous interior of the Jaguar E Type. |
 |
| A lovely Porsche 356 replica. |
 |
| 1946 Pontiac Parisienne looked tough. |
 |
| Immaculate 1960's interior. |
 |
This Borgward Isabella Coupe is as rare
as chicken's teeth. |
 |
The Borgward was built in Germany from
1954 - 1962 |
 |
| Lovely smooth body contour. |
 |
| I love those rear tail lights. |
 |
Not all show cars are shiny, as this RAT
look Porsche 356 shows. |
 |
| The interior was quite clean though. |
 |
Those wing mounted mirrors looked
purposeful in their streamlined covers. |
 |
| Very clean early bay window. |
 |
I'm guessing that isn't the original engine
in this 1969 Ford Escort Mk1 De-Luxe |
 |
| Immaculate condition. |
 |
This Mk3 Zodiac stood out in it's bright
purple paint. |
 |
Back in the bus for another cup of tea,
Suzie looks impatient to get back outside. |
 |
I do like a sign written bus, and this ratty
split screen ticked all the boxes. |
 |
| Lovely pair of speedway bikes. |
 |
A gorgeous single cab pick up and a late
bay. |
 |
| I do like pick up's. |
 |
Entertainment throughout the day was
provided by various bands and groups. |
 |
I'll have to admit I have a secret fetish for
hovercrafts. They are very under rated. |
 |
Late in the afternoon, exhibitors started
to leave, this 40's Ford rumbled past me. |
 |
Classic American styling on the Ford
Consul Capri. |
 |
As I was leaving the show I spotted this
cool early bay. |
So that was the Chiltern Hills Classic Car Show for 2026, overall another great day out with plenty to see and do. Next week will be the first of a four part review all about the Chalgrove Classic Car Show, where you'll be able to see many more British and American classic cars along with motorcycles and of course some VW's so be sure to come back next week.
