It’s an evening to come along and show your car, old or new, and tell others about it for a minute or two, as if it were the preamble to an advanced driving test.

The Sir John Timpson Cup is awarded for the most popular introduction and best-presented car.

Each area will be marked with the overall winner receiving the Camelot Cup.
