📸 Just a few more pics from Tatton Park VW Show before the daylight disappears!

The site looks like it’s gonna be rammed with show cars tomorrow… and there’s some seriously cool stuff already here. 😍🔥

A little taster of what’s caught our eye so far — and the show hasn’t even started yet!

Tomorrow promises to be a good one. 👀🚗💨

🚗 TOTAL RETRO ON TOUR! 🚗

Dave’s down at Tatton Park VW Show this weekend — and it’s only setup day, but there are already some MEGA motors rolling onto site. 😍

And, as you’d expect at a VW show, there are also a few that are slightly more… quirky. 😂 👀

Classics, campers, slammed VWs, immaculate show cars and a few creations that definitely make you stop and have another look!

We’ll grab plenty of pics and videos over the weekend — partly for Total Retro inspiration… and partly because Dave can’t walk past an interesting car without getting his phone out. 🤦‍♂️😂

If setup day is anything to go by, tomorrow should be an absolute belter! 🔥

Who else is heading to Tatton Park tomorrow? 👇

Huge thanks to Gavla! 🎤🙌

We’d like to say a massive thank you to our Saturday early evening singer, Gavla.

He got in touch with us before the event and, when he found out Total Retro was supporting Andy’s Man Club, he very kindly offered to come along and entertain everyone completely free of charge.

And entertain he did! 👏

Gavla, you really added to the event and helped get the fun started that bit earlier. Your generosity means a huge amount to us, and we genuinely cannot thank you enough.

Proper talent. Proper generous. Proper appreciated.

Thank you, Gavla! 💙

Huge thanks to The Galbraiths at Endmoor Farm & The Pasture Milkshake Lodge! 🙌🥛

We’d like to say a massive thank you to the Galbraith family, who have supported Total Retro for a few years now — and their help genuinely makes a huge difference behind the scenes.

Not only do they serve some of the best milkshakes and milk around, using milk from their own herd, but they also step up every year to help us with one of the jobs our volunteers dread the most…

Moving all the metal crowd barriers up into the field! 😅

Using their tractor, they get the barriers where they need to be — a job that would take us hours if we had to do it all by hand.

Support like this is exactly what helps us put on the event with a small team of volunteers, and we really do appreciate it.

So from all of us at Total Retro — massive thanks to The Galbraiths, Endmoor Farm & The Pasture Milkshake Lodge.

Proper local support. Proper hard graft saved. Proper appreciated. 👏

Huge thanks to Pier 1 Metalworks! 🙌

We’d like to say a massive thank you to Pier 1 Metalworks, a brilliant local business who have supported Total Retro for a few years now.

Each year, they very kindly loan us a vehicle free of charge, which makes a huge difference when it comes to getting all the heavy items up into the field and exactly where they need to be.

Support like this is genuinely invaluable. It helps us host the event with a small team of volunteers, keeps things moving behind the scenes, and makes a massive difference to what we’re able to achieve.

So from all of us at Total Retro — massive thanks to Pier 1 Metalworks.

Proper local support. Proper appreciated. 👏

Huge thanks to Quirky Classics! 🙌

Quirky Classics have been a supporter and sponsor of Total Retro for quite a few years now, and their continued support genuinely means a lot to us and the whole classic car community.

Run by a fellow classic car enthusiast, they specialise in Classic Mercedes — so they’re proper car people who really understand what events like ours are all about.

They also judge their very own class in our Show ’n’ Shine and provide an epic trophy every year. 🏆

Support like this helps keep local motoring events alive, brings enthusiasts together, and helps us support brilliant causes like this year’s chosen charity, Andy’s Man Club. 💙

Massive thanks, Quirky Classics — proper enthusiasts, proper classics, proper appreciated.

Anyone else having last minute issues with show vehicles??
My VW Bay Camper doesn’t look like it’ll get to the field 😔 so I thought “ah well, I’ll have to make do with the Sinclair C5, gets it out, to find two completely flat tyres! FFS🤦‍♂️
