The Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional is unquestionably (assuming you don’t question it) the world’s greatest car concours. A show for extra-ordinary ordinary cars, cars that are as marvellously mundane as a Rich Tea biscuit. And more often than not, their peers have succumbed to the dreaded tin worm or scrappage scheme, crumbling like said biscuit being dunked in a cuppa for too long.
These are the cars that have been part of the fabric of our great nation over many decades. They have been mum’s car, dad’s car, Uncle Tony’s car, company cars, first cars, second-hand cars, project cars, and now, of all things, classic cars.
And goodness gracious, you lovely people love them. We saw a record number of cars displayed at the 2021 Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional – more than 2000 – and everyone had a story to share about one unexceptional car or another. To see how much attention you were paying, and test your general knowledge of this curiously quirky scene we all so enjoy being a part of, take our quiz on the 2021 Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional!
Flooded it! Try again. You flooded it! Try again. You flooded it! Try again. Flooded it! Try again. Flooded it! Try again. Flooded it! Try again. Flooded it! Try again. Flooded it! Try again. Flooded it! Try again. A marvellously mediocre performance. Give yourself a gentle pat on the back, but don’t get too carried away. Oh dear. Call yourself a fan of the everyday and ordinary? The shame! It’s alright – you can have another go.
