AUTO enthusiasts can celebrate a whole host of cars, motorcycles, Hot Rods, vintage classics and sports cars at the Blenheim Palace Festival of Transport this August.

The event is gearing up for its 11th annual weekend celebration on August 29 and 29, bank holiday weekend.

The experience this year includes vehicle judging led by former BBC radio presenter Les Clayton.

Organises have said the event is perfect for families, with plenty to see and do around the Woodstock grounds.

It is a celebration of hot rods, vintage classics, exhibitions, trade stands, competitions and history.

The Sunday will feature the Classic Car Show and Monday will include not only the Classic Cars but also motorcycles, Minis and VW's, Customs, Hot Rods and Americans, Kit and Sports Cars.

Spokeswoman for Blenheim Palace Melodie Manners said: "Event organisers Classic Shows have been running auctions and specialist car shows for almost 30 years and know exactly what gets the ‘petrol head’ in all of us hot under the bonnet.

"The show will have exhibitors, trade stalls and plenty of knowledgeable amateurs and motoring professionals offering a wealth of information, history and tonics about specialist vehicles.

"From young to old the Festival of Transport is a true celebration of motoring history and achievement with plenty of exciting things to see, hear and do to keep all the family entertained."
