Rare and vintage cars set for Malahide Classic and Vintage show on Sunday
Over 100 beautiful classic and vintage cars will glisten in the May sunshine this Sunday on the seaside grounds of the Grand Hotel, Malahide, Co Dublin. As the motoring world transitions to a more clinically engineered battery age, the annual Malahide Classic and Vintage Motor Show offers to whisk visitors back to times of thrumming engines, manual gearboxes and mechanics with a manual in one hand and a spanner in the other. The vehicles on display will range from exotic Italian brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Lancia to venerable classics like Austins, Morris, Triumphs and Jaguars. There will also be prestigious sports marques like TVR, Mercedes and Porsche, plus pristine examples of classics from more mainstream brands like Citroën and Volkswagen. It was thanks to the mass market cars that Ireland's motoring masses were offered the opportunity of the open road.

The Malahide Classic & Vintage Motor Show will also feature classic motorcycles, and other vehicles, including fire engines. Alongside the highly polished cars and their adoring owners, visitors can also encounter classic motorbikes and even the odd fire engine. Organised by the Malahide Lions Club and sponsored by Carole Nash Insurance, the Show will open at 11am and admission will cost €10 per adult, no charge for children under 16, with the entire proceeds going to two vital causes – Bumbleance Children's Ambulance Service and Jack & Jill Foundation.
