Until 2009 this was the MG Owners Open Day. After several disappointing years and a tendency for the MG Owners to not interact overmuch with visitors, and with an offer from a Morgan owners club to operate a better event, the Mill Trust chose to offer them the opportunity. From 2010, Ann and Quentin English took on responsibility for running the newly named Classic Cars Open Day. While predominantly showing off Morgan cars, Ann and Quentin happily accepted applications for a slot from other interested classic car owners and they regularly attracted a small number of motorcycles to round out the display. With enthusiastic owners engaging with visitors to talk about their well-presented cars, the Classic Cars Open Day has become a firm favourite, and is often the second-most well-attended event, after the Annual Fete.
Sadly, Quentin English passed away on 23rd June 2020. Due to Covid-19 all public open days and events at the mill had been cancelled for the year, but Ann was keen to resume running the Classic Cars Open Day event in 2021, after restrictions had been lifted.
