Thousands
of car lovers eagerly weaved their way through
displays of more than 600 vintage vehicles parked
adjacent to the leisure centre. Just about every
make of vehicle ever produced was on the show,
from Austin to Ferraris, including some military
vehicles and buses. There was also a display
of vintage cycles and motorcycles. This year,
the rally was held in honour of the 100 th anniversary
of the Ford 100D. Even Haurel and Lardy were
seen entertaining the crowds. Not the real ones,
of cource, but tribute actor's Jem Frazer and
Graeme Hardy who have immortalised the Hollywood
duo across the UK .

Organiser
James Gray told the Herald that there were almost
100 more exhibitors this year. Proceeds from the
event minus expenses go to charity. Last year,
the event sponsored a guide dog puppy, which is
now helping a Newburgh couple lead a better life.
Organisers also commited cash for another guide
dog. “It went very well and we were on a par with
last year,” Mr Gray said. “Quite a number of exhibitors
who were there for the first time and stayed locally
remarked on how impressed they were with Broch
hospitality.”
