As you enter the gates to the pit area for this annual event, you walk into a kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and sounds, a rich array of different marques representing motorsport from the 20s through to a 2005 Westfield Clubman. Each year Historic Sandown seems to attract over 300 entries, not only past competitors but always a crop of new ones to avoid repetition and to keep stimulating public interest.

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.
