The Heritage Transport Show is taking place again in 2012 at Detling, the Kent County Showground, on Saturday March 31.

The event covers a vast range of machinery - from tractors to buses, trucks, cars, military vehicles, stationary engines and motorbikes – and will be celebrating 50 years of the MF 35x and the MGB Roadster, 100 years of AEC and 60 years of Maidstone and District and the East Kent bus club.

A busy auction is expected and anyone interested in entering lots can visit the website www.heritagetransportauctions. co.uk for on-line entry, or call 01959 541444 for further information.

Anyone interested in exhibiting at the show should call Lucy Hegarty on 01622 633052 or 01622 630975.

Entry on the day is £7.50 per person, with children under 12 free. Advance tickets can be purchased for £5 by calling the showground on 01622 633052 or 01622 630975. An administration fee of £1.50 is charged for ordering advance tickets, but this is per order, not per ticket.
