This was the second-running of the Historic Motorsports Show at the National Agricultural Centre at Stoneleigh near Leamington Spa. This presented too good an opportunity to use up some leave and find out what it was all about, tempted by the knowledge that the Heritage Stock Cars had made an appearance at last year's show.

The thing that surprised me most about this event was its size. I was expecting it to be on the small side and while the venue is not the NEC it was packed to the rafters with vintage racing tin along with lots of interesting sellers and an Autojumble. At the latter there was some astonishingly good value NASCAR T-shirts, hats and model cars.

For the oval racefan there were four Heritage cars as well as some grasstrackers. Maybe its a case of 'beauty in the eye of the beholder' but I felt there the Stock Cars more than stood their ground against the more usual historic motorport displays and the BrISCA Heritage stand certainly occupied a very well-located space in the centre of the exhibition.

Overall, an event well worth attending if you get the chance in the future.
