The sleepy Kent town of Edenbridge was brought to a standstill on Bank Holiday Monday by a huge influx of legendary machines and racing drivers.
Thousands of spectators lined the streets as John Surtees, Robbie Kerr, Scott Malvern and others paraded a wealth of astonishing machinery through the town.
Star cars were the Ferrari 158 in which Surtees won the 1964 F1 World Championship – brought over from Alabama by George Barber – and a Surtees TS7, the first car constructed by Team Surtees.
The special event – marking both the 50th anniversary of Surtees' title and the motor sport icon's 80th birthday – also included 200 classic cars and motorcycles. The cavalcade passed twice down Edenbridge High Street before convoying to the Surtees team factory.
After the run a special display outside the Bradford shop on Station Road included the 158 and TS7 as well the ex-Mike Hailwood and Carlos Pace Surtees TS14, the 1973 TS15, a 1960 MV Agusta, Surtees' own BMW 507, a 1949 Vincent Grey Flash and a works Norton.
Surtees said: "It’s fantastic to have the High Street closed on a busy Bank Holiday weekend so that we could give all the visitors the sight and sound of Formula One and times gone by.
