The Stars Of Glorious Grimsthorpe

First and foremost there’s cars, cars and even more cars. Then there’s bikes, trikes, the sporting and occasionally boring. We have new, old, bold and expensively sold, others so clean with their detailing sheen. The modified, rarely spied antique or classic. Clubs, dubs and knackered tubs all are welcome at Baston Car & Bike show. No other event packs so much diversity in its line-up.
