“Boring car festival is a big hit”
Thousands of fans have travelled from around the world for an annual festival that celebrates cars that are nothing special.
The Festival of the Unexceptional (FOTU) is held every year at Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire, UK.
The grounds are packed with around 2,500 much-loved but largely forgotten family vehicles now rarely seen on Britain’s roads.
The event this weekend was in its 12th year, and cars must have been manufactured between 25 and 50 years ago to qualify.
The highlight of the festival is a competition to find the most unexceptional car of all.
This year, first place went to Gordon McNeill and his 2001 Volkswagen Polo E, which he has owned for 20 years.
It was Gordon’s first car and is still the only car he has ever owned, racking up 283,000 kilometres.
