Porthcawl Vintage Fair

[anonymous-user]

I will be in S E Wales in early August for a family wedding and did a search on car shows on at same time, one thing that came up in this in Porthcawl, is it worth a visit? My car interest are around classic and kit cars both road and track, especially lotus and Caterham.

That's a difficult one to answer as we don't know what you like.

In my opinion, if you are local to Porthcawl and have a few free hours, then it could be worth a visit. If you have to travel any distance, then probably not. Its usually held at the local rugby club which should give an indication of the size of event.

I had to google the event, and then realised which show it was and I know the organiser's.

I'm from Porthcawl and don't know anything about it! Some local events are very poorly advertised.

I live in Porthcawl too and didn't know anything about it either. But a big thank you to someone in Kuala Lumpar for letting us know.

I was born and raised (but luckily escaped) in Porthcawl and I've never heard of it either...

Found some pics on line of last years show. http://www.glamorganclassiccarclub.co.uk/index.php...

Actually I'm from Pontypridd, DHE thanks for the picture, and thanks for the other replies, looks like what I thought, will probably go down as we will be in the area, did a show in LLantrisant show once when I was back, nice to just walk around and talk to people. In Asia these things tend to be high end behind barrier do not touch things, I actually like to talk to people about shared experience, my interest is 'usable' classics and classic racing (I have a Lotus Carlton, Elan, 7 and a 944) not gauping at Italian stuff I'd never buy, som looks up my street. Thanks

I haven't heard of that show either. I had three ambitions in life. One is to have a short drive in a 7. Any offers?

[anonymous-user]

One of my 7's is actually a hire car, it is available to rent at the Sepang F1 in Malaysia circuit on any day it is open, for a track day or race, around 500 pounds a day with support crew. Actually if you were in Kl and Welsh I could probably be persuaded t let you have a go in the car park.

Thanks for the kind offer. What I had in mind was something like a drive from Pen-y-fai to Maesteg.
I had three long held ambitions, firstly to fly (achieved 5/11/12 from Swansea airport), secondly to have a go on a unicycle ( too old and too fat so I might skip this) and thirdly is to drive a 7.
