Mike Cowlam, of Classic Events, expressed his "deep appreciation" to all those involved, for helping to make the show a success.

An estimated 5,000 people visited The Bradford Classic yesterday, as the annual event returned to the city following its cancellation due to Covid-19 in 2020.

"This event only took place due to the hard work of our sponsors, volunteers and car owners", said Mr Cowlam

"I would like to express my deep appreciation for everything they did to make the event possible.

"In many ways, this was one of the best shows we have done. The atmosphere was wonderful and very relaxed, with all kinds of people enjoying the cars."

The vintage models on display in City Park provided great photo opportunities, with a number of pictures being shared online.

These shots from David Enyori show some of the classic cars on display:

The car selected as the best in the show was Stewart Turp’s 1983 Ford Capri two-litre sport.

Stewart has owned the car for two years - it has undergone a total restoration and has been described as a "car of great quality" by Mr Cowlam. 

Here, Stewart is pictured receiving his award from the chair of judges, Tony Bhogal:

"Cars have always been a part of me, like an extension of my character", said Latif.

"People say that food and music brings people together, but you can add cars to that list as well", he added.
