More than 400 cars are expected to rev onto the Apley Farm Shop site on July 20 for its much anticipated Classic Motor Day.

The event began in 2013 with just a car and a go-kart, but has grown significantly over the years.

Hundreds of enthusiasts who own classic and vintage motors, motorbikes, commercial vehicles, or who are part of car clubs attend the Classic Motor Day each year.

Estate director Graeme Manton, who is the proud owner of a modern classic Jaguar F type, said it is sure to be an exciting day.

"This is one of the annual events at Apley that many people mark in their calendar very early on and really look forward to," he said.

"The display of cars is always breathtaking, it is a wonderful sight to see them all on the lawns at Apley and the buzz around the area with so many likeminded people sharing their passion is so clear.
