THE LARGEST gathering of Porsche classic cars in Europe will be open to the public.

Hedingham Castle will host Classics at the Castle, a celebration of KG badged Porsches , on Sunday 3 September 2017.

The event is Europe’s largest classic Porsche gathering and is open to all motoring enthusiasts.

An integral part of the event is the iconic display of pre 74 (KG badged Porsches) and this year, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 911S, the Castle driveway will feature a static display of 50 examples, set out in chronological order.

It promises to be one of the most complete line-ups of the 911S showcasing all the models in the S production spectrum, including those built in the Porsche AG period until the S designation was deleted.

Several notable vehicles confirmed include two rare right-hand-drive S models from 1967– 2.2-litre S and ’ Sport and the ex Vic Elford 2.4-litre car.

Judges will award Star Car of the Day based on rarity, originality or interesting history and ‘Trade Stand Award’ for best presentation and crowd appeal.

The event is organised by Porsche Club GB members from across the UK.

Aside from the large displays of classic and modern Porsches, there is the opportunity to explore the magnificent Castle and grounds.

Built in around 1140, Hedingham Castle has welcomed many royal visitors including King Henry VII, King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The magnificent Banqueting Hall and Minstrel’s Gallery will be open to visitors on the day.

Gates open at 10.00am and finishes at 4.00pm Pre-booking is essential since tickets will not be available on the gate.

Non-members cost £25 per car, with an additional £5 for each person.

Children under 12 go free. For more information visit www.porscheclubgb.com
