The car park of PC World, Sprucefield was the venue for this year’s Drive it Day, Classic Car Show. This was a Charity event organised by Banbridge Old Vehicle Club (BOVC), held in aid of N I Children’s Hospice.
Despite the dull day and looming rain there was a very good turnout overall. 6 members of the Classic Rover Club (NI) turned out to support this event and we were also joined by 3 members of the Rover 75 MG ZT Club. While I was walking around I noticed a few more Rovers on display including a Rover P2.
There was a great mixture of pre and post war Vintage and Classic vehicles. The largest club stand displays were Fords and Minis.
One of the minis was getting a lot of attention, when I took a closer look I was soon told that it had been fitted with a motorbike engine!
The Air Cadet display proved very popular with the young and old
alike and the display of Military Vehicles, ranging from a bicycle to an
amphibious vehicle, proved very popular with one of our members, who told me
the names of all the vehicles, which I have since forgotten!

My favourite car (well that’s apart from our SD1!) on display
was the Morris 1,000,000. The Millions were created to celebrate the
millionth sale of the Morris Minor.
Given that there were only 350 produced, I am pleased to say that I have
seen 2 at shows in the last 10 months.
This was a great show with lots of variety and
something to interest everyone and definitely one that I will be marking on
next year’s calendar.
