| The Grand Old Timers Rally
Folkestone Leas
Monday 25th August 2014
FREE
The Oldtimer Rally on The Leas, Folkestone, is a free annual classic car festival on August Bank Holiday Monday which attracts about 300 entrants, including a Continental contingent.
‘Oldtimer’ is the modern Continental English for ‘classic car’. Car rallies have been held here at least since 1896; the first one marque car rally ever was held here in 1933, for Rileys (one of the Riley brothers lived locally); in 1964 there were more Rolls-Royces per head of population in Folkestone than any other town in the world, and in the 70s the rally became established as the Rolls-Royce Parade. In the 80s & 90s it became part of the local authority sponsored Shepway Airshow.
Cruise out from our Birthday Bash to this with around 30 cars from the club, the cruise is awesome and the show is a great chilled out day with loads of cars to look at! | |

We will be leaving Staple on Monday at 9am for a cruise over to the Old Timers Rally on the Leas at Folkestone.
I hope to see as many as you over the weekend as possible.
