Exploring the Malta Classic Car scene – Hill Climb, Concours and Street Grand Prix over 4 days.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show. Last autumn Jonny was invited to experience the Malta Classic event (https://www.maltaclassic.com/ – this year it’s 1st to 4th October). Comprising first of a breathtaking coastal hillclimb, then style and elegance lawn ‘concours’ show, followed by a two day exhibition street Grand Prix, the spirit of 1920s to 1990s classic, vintage and retro cars is well and truly kicking on this historic island.
