There are so many New Year’s Day classic car meets up and down the country, it is a lovely tradition that is growing in popularity each year, and a great excuse to get the motor out the shed and blow away the cobwebs whatever the weather.

John Retter went along to the Brooklands New Years Day Classic Gathering, – billed to be the largest in the UK – and photographed the action, thankfully the grubby weather didn’t deter visitors or John’s sense of humour!
