This weeks blog review is the first of four reviews all the Stanford Hall VW show which this year was held on Sunday 3rd May. This is an annual one day event organised by the Leicestershire and Warkickshire VW owners club. The show is held in the grounds of Stanford Hall, which was built in the 1690's in the beautiful village of Stanford-on-Avon, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire, LE17 6DH. The manicured lawns of the hall also has the River Avon gently flowing through the grounds, and provides a spectacular backdrop for a VW show. As Stanford Hall is only about 60 miles from my hometown, and as the weather forecast was good I decided to drive up. I have been to this show quite a few times over the years and there is always a good collection of top quality VW's of all varieties with plenty of trade stands and an auto jumble and all set in the beautiful grounds of Stanford Hall. This show is seen by many as one of those 'not to miss' shows and it always gets busy there.

| Entering the show from the public car park. Entry fee was £18 which may seem a lot but it is worth it. |
 |
| Walking up the main drive to the hall, there were trade stands on both sides selling everything you could possibly want. |
 |
| Stanford Hall is at the end of the drive, and the show and shine is all around the hall. |
 |
| Gorgeous looking bug with so many trick accessories. |
 |
| Stanford hall is a Grade 1 listed building, and built in 1697. In front of the hall is the concours area. |
 |
| Loved the patina on this split oval rag-top bug. |
 |
| Very, very nice. |
 |
| I did like this 1943 KDF Volkswagen type 82 Kubelsitzwagen. It was originally a Funkwagen (Radio Communications Vehicle) |
