The event's special guest was Sarah Crabtree of Evoke Classics and formally a star of the hit TV series Bangers and Cash.

There was also live action with an auto test competition against the clock; parade laps of the interesting vehicles on display and rally car and drift car driving exhibitions.

People were able to purchase a classic vehicle during the auction.

Live music was provided by bands Rockatansky and Double Jack; there were trade and craft stalls and plenty of activities for children and family entertainment.

The event is also a fundraiser and supports local charities in the north-east.
