WESTBOURNE’S first motor show launched with huge success as residents hope and wait for its return.

The town’s first ever motor event was brought by the British Motor Show and Bournemouth Coastal BID on Saturday, September 21.

An array of classic and super cars filled the streets as residents and visitors basked in the sights.

For some of its younger visitors, the event was their first ever motor show where children were able to dive into the drivers seat.

Eleanor, aged five, and Edwin Peek, aged three, were eager to play the role of convicts as they posed behind bars of one of South Coast Cop Cars.

Their grandad, Nick Beach, said he has owned his classic car for 40 years and has visited many car shows but that this was his grandchildren’s first visit.

Also enjoying the American-style police cars were Bournemouth’s own PC Lewis and PC Lewis, who stopped for a picture during their patrols.

Isaac Shekar, aged five, attended the event with his dad, Abhi, who live just down the road from the show.

“It is nice for the community and good for the shops,” said Abhi.

Isaac seemed to enjoy his first show as he posed in one of the stunning vehicles.

Ryan Thomas brought his whole family to the event to showcase his Ghostbusters car, which has been used to help promote the latest movie in cinemas.

Four-year-old Harry and his little brother Milo were more than happy to help their dad and mum, Chloe-Anne, display the car.

The family from Christchurch have attended around 15 motor shows previously, including three this year, and said they were happy to see one locally.

“We would love to see it return,” said Ryan

Keith Hardy, from Broadstone, proudly represented his car and said he was lucky to get into the show due to the limited number of vehicles.

He added that it was a great show and very well organised with the local traders thriving.

“It is great,” said Keith.

“We want more of this in Bournemouth.”
