Driffield Classic Car Sunday Returns This Weekend

Hot on the wheels of the success of last year’s inaugural event, organisers of the Driffield Classic Car Sunday are promising an eclectic mix of cars of all makes and models as they prepare to welcome visitors this weekend.

The free event, which runs from 11am until 2pm this Sunday, 27th April, will showcase dozens of motor vehicles for the public to view at Cross Hill car park.

The event is the brainchild of the Driffield Town Centre Steering Group, and it is hoped it will attract visitors and create a vibrant atmosphere in Driffield town centre.

What’s on Display

The only criteria for the vehicles on display are that they have a motor, a proud owner, and can fit in a standard parking bay..

“We’re delighted that our entries are full, and we’ve got a fantastic range of vehicles on display,” said Mark Edwards, motor sports enthusiast and chairman of the Driffield Town Centre Steering Group.

“From Land Rovers to Toyotas, Fords to Rileys, and several Porches to a classic Chevrolet, the lineup is as diverse as it is exciting. We even have two motorcycles, a collection of MGs, and a rare Trojan three-wheel Bubble Car.

“One highlight is a sporty MG Montego owned by a local enthusiast who’s new to the show scene—this will be his very first time displaying his car to the public.

“There’s a real mix of vehicles that you don’t often see at other shows, and we’re confident that uniqueness will make this year’s event a real success.”

A Day for Everyone

“We’d love to see as many people as possible come along, have a look at the cars, talk to the owners, and perhaps see something your dad used to own—or a model you always wished you had,” said Mark.

The event will also feature live music from Richard Silvester, promising a jolly atmosphere. “After last year’s rain, this year we’ve booked the sunshine!” Mark joked.

Once in town, visitors are encouraged to explore Driffield. Local businesses are being urged to open for the day to make the most of the extra footfall.

“It’s a multigenerational event that evokes plenty of nostalgia for both the owners and the visitors. We’re looking forward to another great day.”
