Raw Power
Set in the main grounds of Knebworth House which is infamous for music events from Oasis to Robbie Williams and almost weekly events through the summer such as Jousting. Over the August Bank holiday every year and whatever the weather the bank holiday weekend in August is host to the Knebworth Classic Motorshow.

This years turnout was no exception with everything from  Luscious TVR's and Ferraris to Mini Mokes and 3 wheeler Morgans. 

This year our personal favourite was this TVR Sagaris, not our usual sort with so much variety at the show but its superior stance on the top of the hill overlooking  the rest of the show with its gleaming paintwork and raw power really appealed to us.

At Knebworth
Not only are there some amazing vehicles there are also trade stands, club exhibitions and live commentary.
