The Basingstoke Festival of Transport held at War Memorial Park today (Sunday, May 8) was a huge success with hundreds of families visiting the park.

Vehicles of every variety were on display, and families and car-lovers from across the country headed to War Memorial Park to enjoy the day.

Check out our gallery above to see all the latest photos from today’s events.

Organised by Basingstoke Deane Rotary and supported by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, this year’s show was a complete sell out with 900 vehicles registered and 80 trade/charity stalls attending.

One of the vehicles at the fest was a 1975 Volkswagen Kombi Microbus named ‘Fred’.

He was manufactured in Brazil and spent the first 40+ years as a taxi in and around Sao Paulo. It’s current owner imported him in the UK in 2018 and after a long and expensive process, got him on the road the following year.

The Microbus with a 1500-engine is currently being used a café – Café Cubano.

The Gazette's photographer Sean Dillow was snapping away and put together this fantastic selection of pictures to capture the day. Do you spot anyone you know?
