News / Petrol head heaven
FROM THE last week in May owners of classic cars will begin arriving in Shetland for a weekend that should warm the hearts of motoring fanatics from 9 to 90.
The organisers of this year’s Shetland Classic Motor Show have put together another stunning show for an “unmissable” weekend.
On 5 and 6 June Lerwick’s Clickimin Leisure Complex will play host to hundreds of classic dream cars, lorries, tractors, motorbikes and stationary engines.
The show, described as “petrol head heaven”, will feature almost 200 cars from as early as 1913, including two Sunbeam Talbot Darracqs and an Aston Martin DB9.
Several planned tours across the isles will see the cars out and about on the days prior to the show and for a few days after.
Maurice Mullay, from the organising team, said: “For just a taster, and for the younger visitors to do some research on the internet, look out for the big 7.3 Litre Jensen Interceptor Mk3, a lovely Ford Model T from Orkney, a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 2, the young man’s dream car, or look out for a Jaguar ‘E’ Type.
“Be assured the show will offer something for everyone and is a weekend not to be missed.
“The Shetland Classic Car Show offers a great deal and as the most northerly show in the British Isles is unique for visitors and exhibitors alike.”
