Buntingford Classic Car Show 2003 |
 The Annual Classic Car Show of 2003 and of course it had
to rain. I do not know who the band were but my,they were loud. They were also very good. Fortunately they managed to stay out of the rain using the archway opposite Church Street. |
| These pictures are by no means all the vehicles that took part in this years show, there were many, many more. These are just some of my personal favourites and others that caught my eye for any number of reasons | |||
