Helmingham Hall Classic Cars

Another great day out at Helmingham Hall Festival of Classic Car and Sports Cars. The weather on Saturday 6th August was lovely, nice and sunny, just perfect for seeing some great cars at their best. As usual the Concourse runs are a highlight. Of special interest this year in the Concourse Run Option 1 was Ex. Sir Winston Churchill’s 1939 Daimler DB18 Drophead Coupé. There were loads more cars this year, especially in the club and Option 2 areas.  I hope you enjoy looking through the photos and feel free to purchase any for instant download.
