Kingsfold Vintage Vehicle Show 2007

...and so, to just a few of the sights and sounds of the Kingsfold show which took place over the weekend, we went along yesterday...

...oh and no, I don't think this was one of the exhibits (or if it was, it's needing a little in the way of restoration ;)
Kingsfold Vintage Vehicle show 2007 #9
As a show, from what I read, it's only just celebrating it's 9th year in existence, so you can't hope to expect the same scale as Laughton or Ardingly, but it's still fairly well populated (even if not in huge numbers) by a group of displays of collections (mostly the usual suspects) -
