Check out these glorious images from the Festival of the Unexceptional

Classic car insurer Hagerty held its seventh annual ‘Festival of the Unexceptional’ at Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire this weekend, and these images of gloriously ordinary classics have brightened up our Monday no end.

Aren’t they just fabulous in their mundanity? The Festival celebrates “everyday family cars from 1968-1989” and this year’s winner was Jon Coupland in his 13,000-mile 1989 Proton 1.6 GL Black Knight – the only remaining example in the country. Phwoar. 

Second place went to Danny Wilson with an early (we’re talking carburettor-and-choke early) Peugeot 106 that he’d bought for £500.

Special mentions apparently went to a 1989 Nissan Bluebird, a 1986 Volkswagen Polo C Formel E, a 1971 Triumph Toledo and a 1977 Fiat 128. Lovely stuff. Check out more images below…
