Below are various comments made about the event.


A very good and varied selection of cars on show, some of which one only sees on rare occasions.  All efficiently but informally arranged. Well done to all the team.

Just returned home from the Pride of Longbridge rally. What a fantastic family day out! The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the day, looking around the many interesting cars that were there and having a great day generally. I will definitely be coming next time and telling more people about it too.

Just to say how much I enjoyed attending Pride of Longbridge last weekend. This was the first year I have attended and it was well worth making the three hour trip up from East Devon to see a fantastic array of cars, particularly the Rover saloons which I have a personal interest in. Cofton Park is a stunning location in which to hold such an event and it offers plenty of scope to accommodate even more vehicles should the need allow.


A very good day and many interesting stories and great vehicles.

Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful event at Longbridge on Saturday.

This year was my first visit to the POL event, and I must say what a great gathering it was. There was something for everyone at the event who has an interest in the cars from Longbridge.
