Classic Cars on The Prom 11/04/04

Easter Sunday was the first Classic cars on the Prom of the year.  The weather was excellent, plenty of sunshine before getting a bit overcast later.

We got to Bournemouth early (about 20 minutes before the start) but found ourselves behind a big queue of motors waiting to get in.  Looked like most had the same idea.  When we eventually got to the front of the queue we where given our badge to go in the windscreen that showed that we were vehicle number 46 for 2004.

CCOTP really seems to be popular now, I have been going since 2002 and it has been getting better and better each year, with many of the same vehicles returning year after year and many new ones turning up too.  Over 230 cars turned up for the first meet!  Which meant that there was not room for them all in the normal designated area.  As last year they had to open up the bottom gate and have the overflow on the other side of the pier.

There was the usual mix of vehicles, from classic English to American Muscle with everything in between, including a Meschersmit bubble car.  There where even 4 Land Rovers there!  Photos below:
