Video and gallery: Paul Smith Mini Cooper highlight at Classic Car and Transport Show on Shugborough Estate

An estimated 5,000 visitors and exhibitors descended on Shugborough Estate in Great Haywood for the event, which took place on Sunday.

The show is now in its fifth year. This year's spectacle was organised for the first time by Gemini Events, creators of classic motor shows at stunning venues across England.

It featured more than 1,000 exhibits including classic cars, American kit and custom vehicles, motorcycles, as well as commercial and club stands.

The colourful Paul Smith Mini is one of the best equipped limited edition minis – and one of the most luxurious production minis ever made. Also attracting attention was a limited edition Downton by Rover – one of only three of its kind in the country. The Downton was one of the award winners at the end of the day.

Major attractions were also a jet engine Rover P4 – the only one of its type in the world and a rare 1913 Chalmers, the oldest car in the show.

Visitors to the show could browse the many trade and autojumble stands in the picturesque setting of the mansion house grounds.

They also enjoyed entertainment provided by vintage singer Jayne Darling and retro DJ UXB playing music throughout the day.

A team of judges selected the winners and an awards ceremony was held at the end of the day. The mansion and walled garden were also open for visitors to enjoy on the day.

Gemini Events director Stephen Smith said the fine weather brought out some of the best and rarest vehicles in the county and surrounding areas.

"Visitors were delighted with the show," Mr Smith said. "Everyone had a great day. It was wonderful."

Worried

But Mr Smith said he was asked by worried visitors throughout the day whether the show would be the last – as Shugborough will be taken over by the National Trust in October.

"As the new organiser I really don't know. I'm hoping it is not the last. I will have a meeting with the National Trust," Mr Smith added.
