Wheels on Wednesday

Wheels on Wednesday. Spetchley Park Gardens 11th May 2022. By Simon & Janet Wright

Wheels on Wednesday returned to its normal summer home of Spetchley Park gardens, near Worcester, for their first summer Wednesday evening meeting at the beginning of May. A lovely sunny spring evening greeted the good turnout of enthusiasts, with a wide variety of vehicles. Quite a few modern super cars and sports cars were turning heads. There were several fabulous Ferraris and

purposeful Porsches, while one magnificent McLaren made an attempt to steal the show. Classic British sports cars have always been popular, with Lotus and TVR two of the more modern manufacturers, while the MG Midget and Austin Healey Sprite, which used to be affordable small sports cars are still very popular, but no longer cheap! Modern young enthusiasts now tend to concentrate on hatchbacks to modify and many of these will easily outperform more traditional style sports cars. Another popular type of car is the American muscle car. Some of the older models are iconic, while

newer models offer high performance from V6 or V8 engines at relatively modest prices compared to European models of similar performance. All these types of vehicles are well represented at these meetings, plus motorcycles and some classic and vintage cars.
