150MPH Club at CarFest North

It sounds exciting and dangerous and that’s because it is! Not many cars produced, left the factory being capable of achieving 150mph, but when they do, in every instance they are special for one reason or another. We will celebrate the great road and race cars that were built to do 150mph plus! Often loud, often beautiful and always exciting, the first ever production car to break 150mph was the iconic Mercedes 300SL ‘Gullwing’ in 1958. In the present day, a Volkswagen Golf GTI is capable of achieving this speed, but back in the day when Malcolm Campbell’s Sunbeam became the first ever car to officially break 150mph in July 1925, it was the official land speed record! We will have a range of cars to celebrate this great milestone of speed!

Coachbuilt Cars Through the Ages at CarFest South

A breath-taking display of some of the grandest and most beautiful cars ever built by some of the world most famous coachbuilding houses. During the last century, and especially in the early part of the century, ordering cars, especially expensive cars was an entirely different affair as it is today. You’d order your rolling chassis from the manufacturer and then send it to your favourite coachbuilder to fit it with a beautiful and elegant body. The result, was some of the most beautiful and impressive cars ever built. Think Rolls Royce, Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti… some of the automotive world’s most beautiful cars were not designed by those marques but by the coachbuilders who fitted their bodywork. We will have an incredible display of the grand cars to celebrate this unique time in car evolution.
