We are expecting a brace of wonderful Messershmitts to land in Grange at our Classic Car Show in August. The Messerschmitt micro car was built by the aircraft company during the 1950’s, ceasing production in 1964. Very rare in the UK, they were exceptionally well built, with an aircraft style canopy which hinged to the side to allow access. With no steering wheel (its basically handlebars) and room for a squashed duo of passengers behind the front seated driver, they are certainly a different driving experience!

Classics over Sands is on Sunday 13th August, dont be caught napping, put in your diary NOW!

Entries will open on 15th February through our website classicsoversands.org keep an eye out for future announcements.

Another fantastic entry in Classics over Sands is this 1947 350cc Manx Norton is in unrestored condition, it was raced in the 1947 Junior Manx Grand Prix by rider Anno Domini and finished in 17th place at an average speed of 70.07 mph covering 6 laps which was 226.38 miles.

In 1949 Anno Domini and John Aldington drove all the way from Yorkshire to enter in the Le Mans 24 hour race, Anno Domini and John Aldington drove a Frazer Nash racing car and came 3rd overall and 2nd in class.

We understand Anno Domino was a pseudonym as his parents didn’t know he was racing!

One of the last Mini Sport 500’s has been entered into the show. This is literally one of the last Mini’s made, after a production run of over 5 million built. The cars were built in 4 specific colours, this one painted in British racing green metallic. With an interesting silver leather interior and silver dashboard, this is one to see at the show on 7th August!

We have plenty of spaces available for autojumble, with a space available from just £10. Its really easy to apply, just go to the section on classicsoversands.org and download the application form – as easy as that!

We’ve had an amazing few days since opening entries on the 10th February, with over 75 cars now entered for the show in the first 5 days! We’ve a wide range of vehicles from the early ’30’s to some modern classics, we’ll be highlighting some of the entries in the coming weeks.
