You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepping back in time near Exeter today. Nearly 300 classic cars and their owners turned up for the annual Killerton Classic Car Show.

In the grounds of a classic house, a collection of classic cars to delight any enthusiast.

The National Trust has opened the park at Killerton House every year for the last eight years, and each time show has attracted more cars and more spectators. The cars came in all shapes, sizes, ages and conditions.

There were 270 entries this year for a prize judged by the classic car owners themselves. Some of the vehicles are so rare and precious the owners must think twice about bringing them out on our crowded roads.

Some cars are equally original but not quite so exotic. This Standard was bought as a box of bits for £250.

It was a nostalgia fest for anyone from nought to a hundred.
