Peterborough Bus & Commercial Vehicle Rally

sponsored by Stagecoach in Peterborough

 

 

 

In 2010 the rally was held at Sacrewell Farm on Sunday 11th July 2010

 

The event was operated in conjunction with the Vintage Weekend at Nene Valley Railway where traction engines and other vintage vehicles were on display.

 

This year’s event was the biggest so far with nearly fifty vehicles attending. Thanks to everybody who brought a vehicle and/or helped in the organisation of the event. Click here for photographs of some of the vehicles present. The page may take a little while to load
