There was fun for all ages too, as the children were kept entertained by various activities.
As well as a fine display of vintage cars, there was a vast array of vintage machinery on show.

The classic car display from Allsorts Motor Club of Alresford featured a 1901 Adler Model No. 2, 1933 Austin, 1937 Triumph Vitesse, 1952 Austin A40 Sports and more.
There will be animal competitions and displays in the afternoon session.
Alresford RFU chairman of the minis/youth, Rupert Kellie, is one of the many representatives of local organisations present at the show.
He said: “The show for us is a brilliant way of connecting with local families and letting them come down and see what the rugby club is all about.
"We pride ourselves on being the friendliest club in Hampshire and we are trying to attract more players, both youth and adults. The Alresford Show is a great way to connect with the local community.”
Another local trader Helen Lloyd-Bisley, director of Farm Tech Supplies, said: “We have been coming here for years, the first year we even won the prize for the best machinery display. I love it. It’s a very family-orientated show.”
John Knight, from Weeke, was at the show cooking up chips and burgers at the Haynes tractor stand from his burger van Original Fry Up Material.
He said: “I only moved to Hampshire in 2019, but I grew up in the countryside so I love tractors and agricultural shows. I came to the Alresford Show for the first time last year and it was great, it’s an honour to be back with Haynes again. It’s a great show.”
Andrew Ferguson, from Dummer Down Farm near Basingstoke, was at the show with his two young sons.
He said: “We come every year to see lots of tractors and animals and see lots of people and friends. It’s a highlight of the farming community year.”
Harry Pickering, from The Grange Vineyard, said: “It’s lovely to be out in the sun with the agricultural family of Hampshire.”
