Highnam House, Classic Cars, June 2026

This last Sunday I took my Mum to Highnam House which was hosting a car show to raise money for a local children’s charity. We met my sister there with her husband and their dogs. It was an overcast, warm and humid day but pleasant enough browsing the cars around the trees and beside the lake. I took a few photos, shared below:

Bellissimo Fiat 500
This Caterham 7 was just leaving
Tidy underbonnet of Alfa Romeo Brera
A very early Porsche 928 in original condition
Mum tearing up the green in her scooter
An immaculate MG Midget
An immaculate MGB Roadster
A charismatic Mark 1 Chevrolet Corvette in a great two tone black/silver
I really liked this custom Ford Pop van…
…tastefully trimmed…
…with a genuine flat head V8 and all the right bits…!
Another impressive Custom Ford Pop
What a great looking car
This VW Golf GTI looked like new
Beautifully simple Lotus 6 – keeping it lightweight
A dignified Alvis Saloon
A well-used Citroen 2CV
…oddly left hand drive so probably imported. A simple interior.
Austin 7 in ‘Brum’ colours
Authentic rally Jaguar XK120 coupe with history
Great to see this selection of Austin Minis
Porsche 924 Carrera – I think these are rare
A business like interior!
Lamborghini Countach – or is it…?
Here’s me in car spotting mode
Here’s Mum!
Is there a prettier car than an MGB in Primrose Yellow?
Mercedes-Benz 190 Cosworth, with Patina
Lotus Elan S2
These folk were enjoying a picnic next to their MGB
A ‘Q-edition’ Aston Martin
My Sister Sarah and her dogs
This Rolls Royce Silver Ghost had a Gold Supermarine Sea Plan model in place of the usual Spirit of Ecstacy
A 1920’s Bentley
Honda NSX Mk2
Aston Martin V8 Volante
Blower Bentley
An elegant Bentley Arnage
An historic race car – I didn’t identify the make
