VINTAGE design fans were able to marvel at the cars and stalls from days gone by on display at Bocking's Roundwood Garden Centre on Sunday.
The free event saw classic cars – including Jaguars, Rolls Royces and Mustangs – motorbikes and tanks on show from 11am until around 4pm.
Sue Turner, community support administrator at Roundwood Garden Centre, said: "It was our second car show of the year and although was not as well-attended at the May event, everyone who came thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
"There was a good flow-through of people throughout the day and most people stayed for the whole event, relaxing by the beer tent and, of course, our vintage tea tent was very popular as always."
The Essex Cares event in Bocking was held to raise money for the charity, which helps with people with disabilities gain more independence.
Tony Ratcliff, 69 of Panfield Road, Braintree, took a 1973 T25 Triumph that he'd only bought a couple of months earlier to the show.
"It's been great today and luckily we've had glorious weather since we bought it and can get the top down quite a bit. I've had to put a breaker in the back so the wife's hair doesn't blow off," he said.
Roundwood Garden Centre allows people with disabilities to plant and grow produce on the site's allotment and integrate with the community.
Colin Addington, 67, of Mill Park Drive, Braintree, was at the event with his 1960s Chevrolet DeSoto Firesweep and his five-year-old grandson Lewis.
He said: "I've always wanted an American car as I used to live near the US air base in Weathersfield. All the parts are original, so when I saw it I just fell in love with it."
There were more than 50 cars and 25 craft stalls, live music and food outlets at the centre, as well as British Heart Foundation demonstrations to youngsters of CPR.
David Johnson, 66, from Halstead brought a 1935 Austin 10 Litchfield to Roundwood and told the Chronicle: "This is a great event with some amazing vehicles on show – my car was originally actually owned by Harold Combs, the composer.
