We had a fantastic time at Rustival this weekend — one of those events that really reminds you what the classic car scene is all about.
We took along our early Austin Maestro, which seemed to draw plenty of interest throughout the day. In fact, we spent so much time chatting to people that this is pretty much the only photo we managed to take — which probably says it all.
It was great to meet so many of you in person. Whether you came over for a proper chat, shared a story, or just had a quick look around the Maestro, we really appreciate you taking the time. Events like this are all about the people as much as the cars, and Rustival absolutely nailed that.
A big thank you as well to the organisers for putting together such a relaxed and welcoming show. It’s not often you find an event where everything from polished pride and joys to well-worn survivors sit happily side by side — but that’s exactly what makes it work.
If you weren’t able to make it, it’s well worth having a search online. Plenty of creators were there filming on the day, and there was a brilliant mix of vehicles on display.
All in all, a cracking day out — and we’re already looking forward to the next one.
