On Sunday 2nd August, the Clayton Classics team headed to the Vantom Overdrive Motor Show for a fantastic day celebrating classic cars, automotive craftsmanship, and the enthusiast community.
Held at Vantom Village at Patchings Art Centre in Calverton, Nottinghamshire, the event brought together an impressive selection of vehicles and enthusiasts for a relaxed day centred around a shared passion for cars.
Meeting fellow enthusiasts
One of the highlights of attending events like Vantom Overdrive is the opportunity to meet owners and enthusiasts away from the workshop environment.
Throughout the day, we enjoyed chatting with visitors about their cars, upcoming projects, and plans for getting more enjoyment from their vehicles. From restoration and servicing to improving comfort and usability, it was great to hear about the different ways owners are continuing to enjoy and preserve their classics.
modern comfort classic cars
Our bespoke climate control systems were also a popular topic of conversation throughout the event.
As more classic car owners use their vehicles for longer journeys, touring, and regular driving, comfort is becoming an increasingly important part of the ownership experience. Modern heating, ventilation, and air conditioning can make a significant difference, particularly during warmer weather.
Our systems are designed to provide modern comfort while remaining sympathetic to the original vehicle. Reversible installation is a key part of this approach, allowing owners to enhance usability without permanently compromising the car’s originality or character.

We had a fantastic day at Vantom Overdrive and would like to thank everyone who stopped by to speak to the team.
