Fans of historical and vintage machines flock to the Yorkshire coast to feast their eyes on some weird and wonderful vehicles.
The event – which is held next to the iconic ruins of Whitby Abbey – is taking place all weekend.
As well as the wide selection of unusual and interesting vehicles and machines, there are also a number of attractions such as the StuntWorld Stunt Show and the Scarborough Fair Stage Show.
Take a look at our best pictures from the first day.
