Wheels 2023 was affected by the weather, with showers (some quite heavy) drifting across at random intervals. This deterred both visitors, down from 3,000 last year to 2,100 this, and exhibitors, though we don't have an exact count. Not surprising, really.
Nonetheless, we did have 2,100 visitors and they did see a whole lot of cars, bikes, vans, military and so on, so we’re calling it a success.
We are beginning planning the next Wheels and discussing a date with the Royal Cornwall Showground.
“Wheels Classic Vehicle Show” – for Classic cars, motorcycles, commercial vans/lorries, agricultural, tractors, steam (mobile & stationary) and military alongside trade and autojumble stands, catering facilities, children’s play area and entertainments.
Wheels is for you, whether you are thinking of exhibiting your classic, or want to come and see around a thousand exhibits.
Wheels is a charity fund-raising event and local charities benefit enormously.
