Muscle cars to star at Cholmondeley Pageant of Power

Americana is one of the themes of the eighth Cholomondeley Pageant of

Power, which runs from June 12-14, with a display of North American

muscle cars set to appear on the Saturday.

One of the stars will be a replica Bud Moore 1969 Boss 302 Mustang.

The car was built in tribute to Moore, the famous NASCAR owner and

driver, and was fully competition prepared but never raced. It will

star alongside other American icons, such as a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air.

On Sunday the display will be replaced with a line-up of Eighties

supercars, including a 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP500S and a 1988

Ferrari Testarossa. The Pageant will also pay tribute to Lotus on the

Friday, with a parade of every production Lotus ever made.

Essentially a hill climb with added attractions, Cholmondeley

(pronounced “Chumley”) has some pretty mighty

“attractions”. Aside from the aforementioned displays, this

year’s include drag racing demonstrations, speedboats on the lake, a

flypast by the last airworthy RAF Vulcan and a flight demonstration by

an RAF Typhoon, plus aerobatics from the Red Bull Matadors.
