Simply Vauxhalls at Beaulieu National Motor Museum!

Beaulieu National Motor Museum welcomed more than 200 Vauxhalls for the Simply Vauxhall Rally on Sunday July 27.

All Vauxhall models were welcomed into the event, from classics to the most modern and up-to-date Corsas, Insignias and Astras. Vehicle owners enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures while meeting other like-minded enthusiasts and admiring the cars on display.

Those who attended the festival also had the opportunity to explore all the features of Beaulieu, including the National Motor Museum, World of Top Gear, Beaulieu Abbey and Palace House and gardens.

Of the Vauxhalls that attended the event, owners clubs such as The Vauxhall Drivers' Club, VXR Online, CAVMK3 Owners' Club and MIG Performance Vauxhalls Car Club also made an appearance.

During the day, visitors to Beaulieu were asked to vote for their favourite Vauxhall on display in the People's Choice Awards.

The award went to Emma Gribble from Reading for her 2008 Vauxhall Corsa in Sapphire Black with bright orange stripes. The Events Coordinator presented Emma with a Beaulieu Trophy.

A procession of the top nine most popular Vauxhalls then drove through the grounds.

Simply Vauxhall is part of Beaulieu's Simply Rallies series, which covers a wide variety of themes, makes and models of vehicle. For more information about the Simply Rallies, please visit www.beaulieuevents.co.uk.
