Brill Classic Car Show (part 2)

Over the weekend of 23rd / 24th August the village of Brill, in Buckinghamshire, held a fun weekend with steam rides, attractions, assorted stalls and refreshments, kids area, a beer tent with over 40 different real ales & ciders, street food, all day music and a classic car show. Brill village is nestled high up in the Buckinghamshire countryside, and probably most famous for it's windmill. I've been attending the Brill classic car show for many years now and it's getting bigger every year. There is a vast array of classic vehicles but without the snobbery you sometimes get from classic car owners. So on the Sunday morning Suzie and I jumped in the bus and we headed off. Brill is only about 13 miles from my hometown so this really is a local show. The review continues as we wander around the show.

1969 Vauxhall Viva GT, very rare.

Immaculate engine bay, showing off the
1975cc engine

Mk3 Ford Cortina, my dream car.

Oozing the 1950's was this 2 door 1957
Chevy, in classic turquoise.

A 2 door Mk3 Cortina with the 'Crayford'
convertible conversion.

Aston Martin DB6.

A very clean and straight Karmann Ghia.

When was the last time you saw a Lancia
Stratos?

Beautiful split screen.

Mk2 Jaguar looked stunning.

My friend Joe was at the show in his 
lovely 1970 early bay.

Joe's bus is so clean and straight.

Fiat Topolino circa late 1930's.

This Baja looked as though it should be
good fun.

Suzie back in the bus guarding the milk.

Nice clean bug.

Army Jeep looked authentic.

A lovely Jenson 541R, this car was only
produced from 1957 - 1960.

Stunning series 1 Land Rover.

There is always a good selection of
classic bikes at Brill.

This Greaves scrambler caught my eye.

My bus on show.

An unmolested Ford Model A.

Original interior.

I loved this old model A, even if it has just
marked it's sopt.

This early bay panel van caught
my eye. The colour of the van
 with clear indicator lenses, those 16"
wheels with high wall off road tyres
and the full length roof rack made
this van look so tough.

So that was the Brill Classic Car Show for 2025, overall a fantastic day out with plenty to see and do for all the family. This is a show that I can recommend if you can, as you won't be disappointed. Next week's blog review is a 3 part review all about the Wolfsburg Bus Crew's 10th Birthday Bash & Campout, where all you'll be able to see is air-cooled vehicles so be sure to come back next week.

My bus at the Brill Classic Car Show.
Although I arrived quite early, the show
field was rapidly filling up with classic
vehicles.

I'm not sure what this old 'woody' was,
but I know that I loved it.

Looking across the show field, spot my
bus.!

This lovely F100 caught my eye.

E-Type Jaguar coupé or..

Convertible?

A very clean T25.

Gorgeous converted T25 panel van.

More America muscle, with Suzie photo-
bombing the shot.

Lovely split screen.

You've just got to love a 289ci Mustang.

These 3ltr V6 Granada's were common
when I was growing up, now you don't
see very many at all.

Jimmy brought his gorgeous 1967 split
screen.

A couple of old hot rod buddies also came
along to the show. This is John's model 'A'
roadster.

Another buddy, Bob, brought his lovely
model 'A' 5 window.

This really is such a lovely car.

The Mini was well represented at the
show.

I think this lovely old Jag is an XK150,
from the 1950's, although I could be wrong.

So that was the first of two instalments all about the Brill Classic Car Show. Next week will be part two where you can see plenty more classic cars, including American muscle cars, vintage bikes and of course plenty more air-cooled VW's, so be sure to come back next week.
