This Year’s Show will take place on

Sunday, 21st July, 2013

Trim Vintage and Veteran Rally has been running since 1985. It started in a small yard in Loman Street Trim with just 23 cars. The founder Norman Pratt determined to expand the show, approached the Roundtree family who very kindly gave us Porch fields to use on the day.

It has grown each year since then and now we have in excess of 500 cars and motor cycles on show. It has become a renowned family day out with a lot of different side shows to keep everyone happy from the young to the old.

It has become such a great day that the only thing that could spoil it would be the weather.

We have had everything from The Slieve le Mon Armoured Car from the Civil War to the Presidential Rolls Royce. We have had great support from Northern Ireland and the northern visitors enlighten a lot of us greatly with their range of cars. We have also had the Morgan Club of Great Britain over to visit. We receive numerous entries but never know until the day what is going to turn up.

One of the reasons for this rally is to raise funds for local Charities.

Attractions at this years event include the following: Vintage, Veteran & Classic Cars, Vintage Tractors, Commercial Vehicles & Motor Cycles, Classic American Cars and lots of fun for all the family.
