Every year vintageants in the U.K., flock to Prescott in their thousands.  Why?  Possibly because the array of both competitors and spectators cars are of a quality and variety unmatched at any other venue.  The venue is perhaps the most attractive regular motorsport course in the country and the timing means that it can be a family occasion.  With a huge camping area within yards of the course, families can park their cars by their tents/caravans and barbeque in congenial company over the weekend.  You can tell by the expression on the face of ex-President Peter Glover just how much he enjoys it.
