he Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club
once again held their 45th Scottish
Transport Extravaganza in the
magnificent grounds of Glamis Castle over
the weekend of 13th and 14th July.
This event is regarded as the premier
vintage motoring spectacular in Scotland
and is one of the largest of its kind in
Britain, bringing together over 1800
vehicles representing a wide array of
transport comprising veteran, vintage and
classic vehicles and machinery (cars,
commercials, military, tractors, steamengines, motorcycles, static engines and
exhibits). The show, often called the
“Beaulieu of the North” given the amount
of trade stands and Mini clubs that attend
the event, is set on the grounds of Glamis
Castle in Forfar, birthplace of the Queen
Mother. Holding the Extravaganza in the
grounds of Glamis Castle provides a
magnificent backdrop to the event.
This year there was a special Mini display
to celebrate 60 years of the Mini. The 60th
display included three early Morris Mini
Minors, including Simon Drew’s 1959 car,David Dyson’s TMO replica, and my own
1960 Downton Mini Minor in addition to
MkI Coopers and Cooper Ss.
Several Mini car clubs were present
including Mini Cooper Register and Mini
Clan, along with other multi-make car
clubs offering an eclectic range of Minis
old and late.
The Vintage Vehicle Extravaganza remains
a show not to miss, and certainly one you
can plan a driving holiday around with all
the scenic, wide open roads that Scotland
can offer!FINDING TRUE NORTH
