Classic Car Day 2015

Classic Car Day banner at Forth Bridges Festival – 25/07/15

We had another very successful on Sunday 30th August 2015 and great weather blessed us once again. A total of about 130 cars joined us in the town to enjoy the delights of the event, the town centre cafes, pubs, restaurants and ice cream shops!

The road run round the area this year was to the Falkirk Wheel, and our signpositng must have been fine as we didn’t lose anyone travelling there or back.

The car show itself had cars parked at and around Linlithgow Cross, on the pavement at the Vennel west of the Cross, and in the Palace car park from lunchtime and throughout the afternoon.

So a great thanks from the organisers to all those who turned up to enjoy the day, whether entrants, drivers, visitors, or the public in general. We look forward to seeing you again next year on Sunday 28th August 2016.

In advance of the show the 1st prize for best car of the show was on display in the window of Robert Callander Opticians in the High Street and the big car cake in the window of Truly Scrumptious at the Cross, in the week leading up to the Car Day.
