More than sixty vintage and classic cars and motorbikes from across the North West will congregate at the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port (known locally as ‘The Boat Museum’) on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June for its first ever Vintage Vehicle Weekend.
Hosted by the Canal & River Trust charity, the event will feature an amazing display of some of the UKs most desirable classic vehicles, from a Triumph Dolomite Sprint and 1949 Roadster to a 1955 James Cadet motorbike and 1995 Rolls Royce Spur.
TV celebrity Craig Hughes, star of ‘The Salvage Hunters’ and ‘The Restorers’, will be on site all weekend to pass on top tips about classic cars, antique restoration and upholstery hints. Visitors will be able to see his restored 1921 Royal Enfield motorbike and seek his views and advice at two Question and Answer sessions held each day at 12 noon and 3pm.
