Win a pair of tickets to the 2017 Sywell Classic: Pistons & Props

The Sywell Classic Pistons and Props returns to Sywell Aerodrome, Northamptonshire, on Saturday 23 – Sunday 24 September 2017, combining hot rods, historic racers and bikes with exciting aerial air displays, and a variety of vintage performers.

Formula 1, Formula 2 and Group B racing will form the mainstay of the Racing Runway, tearing up the tarmac, alongside a selection of classic and modern motorbikes. On the Sprint Strip, the popular Street Car Shootout will be providing smoke and squeals of rubber.

Air displays will be performed by the Yakovlevs and The Blades, both world leaders in aerial acrobatics. Plus, the Breitling Wingwalkers, the world’s only formation wingwalking team, will be taking to the skies.

Bring your dancing shoes as there will be live music in the Footman James Scarf and Goggles Bar, including Dusty Springfield tribute Dusty and Friends, vintage singer Jayne Darling, and rockabilly group the Rock-ola Rockets. In Hangar One, One Eyed Cats will be playing for the benefit of those staying overnight.

Above are a few pictures from our visits over the years to this great event.

The show field will be adorned with displays by the UK’s best classic motoring clubs while Pole position parking will see private owners show off vehicles manufactured pre 1986. Limited spaces are available to book a space at the heart of the show for your pride and joy.

With World War 1 and 2 re-enactments, a vintage fun fair and vintage craft fair, it’s not all about transport – there is fun for all the family to be had at Sywell Classic, with awards for those who comes dressed up in period outfits and are the ‘best dressed.’

    I’ve always a special place for the AC428, not to be driven in and maybe its not the best drive around, but an American 7 litre engine in a British car with an italian body has got to be a bit special.
    In the the 1960’s and 70’s,it competed with Aston Martin, Ferrari, Monterverdi, Iso and Maserati and was more expensive than most of them and sadly the cost became its main downfall.
    I have a preference for the convertable and that would be my drive choice over the still attractive /coupe…..unless its raining.
