FESTIVAL OF THE UNEXCEPTIONAL

Unique Cars

Issue 482

THE RECENT Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional had another sell-out success at Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire with a record attendance of 1200 cars, 3000 guests and the Concours winner driving from Sweden to take part.

Hagerty created the Festival of the Unexceptional in 2014 as a celebration of long-forgotten everyday family cars from 1968-1989, now fondly known as the ‘Unexceptional Era’.

The 2023 Concours presented one of the best displays since its inception with highlights including 5000-mile Vauxhall Cavalier and the only Yugo Sana in the UK. In addition, many owners displayed period accessories including original dealer signage and model brochures to ensure their cars stood out to the judges.

Host of Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars, Paul Cowland was there and chatting with attendees throughout the day and Repair Lot presenter Charlotte Vowden kept the crowds entertained on the main stage.

READER RIDES

I had a 1982 twin-carb Laser Sports as my first car, which I bought about 1993. It was at a Ford dealer and they couldn't get it started. So I went up with my mechanic and we got it going. It was a great first car and was relatively trouble-free. My dad liked them for their tuneability.
