Thousands of enthusiasts flocked to Scotland’s biggest vintage vehicle gathering at Glamis Castle this weekend.

Around 1,500 vehicles were on display at the 42nd Scottish Transport Extravaganza, featuring everything from 100-year-old cars to vintage tractors and motorcycles.

The rain on Sunday afternoon meant ring displays had to be suspended as conditions got too treacherous.

However, Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club’s chairman Allan Burt said the muddy conditions hadn’t dampened the enthusiasm of the visitors.

He said: “Everyone’s been upbeat despite the weather. Most of the people who are here are genuine enthusiasts and the public enjoy seeing and viewing with nostalgia that which they remember from the past.”

James Dyland’s Stuntworld appeared at the festival for the third time and on Saturday there was also a 4×4 display team demonstrating their skills.

Various vehicle classes were also displayed in the ring to the delight of the crowds. Entertainment was also provided by the Forfar and District Pipe Band.

Mr Burt said that one of his highlights from the weekend was seeing a 1904 Century car.

He also praised the commitment of the owner of a 1915 Ford Model T Tourer who drove to Glamis from Orkney.

More than 50 car clubs attended the event, covering a wide range of makes and models in the showground.

Among the exhibitors were Tayside Classic Car Club and two MG clubs from Tayside.

There was also children’s entertainment and a craft marquee.

SVVC administrator Lesley Munro added: “We’re grateful for the folk that come year in year out to support the event in all weather.

“The displays this year have been as good as ever, with just under 1,500 vehicles booked.

“People seem to have a good time in this lovely setting and they’ve come prepared for the weather.”
