Hundreds of vintage motors filled the car park of the Montem Leisure Centre yesterday (Sunday) for this year's Slough Swapmeet.
More than 1,000 people attended the annual event, organised by camper van enthusiasts Vince Warne and Robin Sankey.
Petrol heads were able to show off their old school rides, and buy and sell car parts in the leisure centre's sports hall.
Trophies for various categories were presented to motorists, who had travelled from across the country to take part in the event.
Categories included king of the car park and 'best ratty' for the best weathered looking car.
Commenting on the continued popularity of the iconic VW vans Robin said: "A lot of people grew up with them, it's the campervan they went on holiday with when they were kids and they want to relive that.
"This is one of the biggest events of year in the campervan calendar. Me and Robin took it on 30 years ago and it had really gone quieter, but since then it's built up year after year."
