More than 13,000 classic car fans flocked to Sywell Aerodrome on 27-28 September for the second annual Sywell Classic Pistons and Props celebration. The celebration of historic motor sport and aviation legends featured everything from Ford GT40s to Lancaster bombers, and also saw a speed of 192mph clocked by a Lancia LC2 on the site's runway.
"The feedback has been overwhelming," said event director Tom Siddall. "It's brilliant how all the people involved have really taken this event to their hearts. All of them commented on the atmosphere and it was great to see more and more people arriving in period clothes and getting into the spirit of the festival."
Modified classics played an important role at the festival, with some testing their mettle on the runaway, which was used as a drag strip during the event.
More people than ever before chose to turn-up in vintage clothing that matched their classic cars.
