Quote:Classic American cars on show at Brooklands Museum

Cars ranging from nine DeLoreans to 1920s Model T Fords and Chevrolets were on show at Brooklands Museum

Vintage motors and hot new rides were on display at Brooklands Museum in Weybridge during its American Classic Car Day on Sunday (September 7).

The show, now in its 12th year, featured 191 vehicles spanning about 90 years of US motoring history, ranging from 1920s Model T Fords to vintage and modern Corvettes, Mustangs, Cadillacs and Chevrolets.

More than 1,700 car enthusiasts flocked to the museum to see the impressive collection of pick-up trucks, convertibles, hard tops, soft tops, roadsters and hot rods exhibited by owners from across the country.

One of the highlights of the day was the sight of nine DeLoreans, the distinctive 80s sports car with gull-wing doors and a steel finish which starred in the Back to the Future film franchise.

Even more classic cars arrived later on in the day as the museum was the finishing point for a fundraising car rally, in aid of Surrey cancer charity GUTS, which featured MG, Lotus, Bentley and Rolls-Royce models.

Brooklands Museum events manager Donna Hopton, who organised the American Classic Car Day with US auto expert Dave Munson, said: "We had great weather and a great atmosphere on the day. Everyone loved it.

"The number of exhibitors and visitors at this event goes up every year. There are more British owners of classic American cars these days.

“These vehicles have really come back to the fore for motor fans."

Brooklands Museum is already planning next year's American Classic Car Day, which will be held on September 6 2015, as well as a general American-themed display on August 9.
