Club RetroTorque co-founders - Classic Car Breakfast, Windmill Inn, Linton, Wetherby followed by a drive outWindmill, Linton
Join us for a relaxed Saturday morning classic cars breakfast and good company at the newly refurbished Windmill Inn, Main Street, Linton, Wetherby, LS22 4HT.
Meet from 10 am to 12 pm, for the breakfast.
At 12 pm, we'll set out for an optional informal drive-out, for those who wish. For this month (June 2025), we'll head to the Motorist in Sherburn.
This event is widely advertised, so it's not just those from meetup who attend. Our events - when the weather is nice - regularly attract over 30 cars on display. These events are attended by all kinds of people, couples and families with a passion for classic vehicles and motoring. As a club, we are particularly keen to recruit more women classic car enthusiasts. We welcome classic cars of all marques and models, and from all eras.
Bring your pride and joy, meet fellow classic car enthusiasts, and enjoy the charming setting of our welcoming venue. Although, you're also welcome to join us if you don't have a classic car to display!
We encourage guests to have a breakfast at the pub as a thank-you to our generous hosts. The other option is to meet up with us, forgo the drive-out and stay at the pub for lunch. If you wish to do this, we recommend booking ahead by calling the pub on 01937 582209. The Windmill’s menu is available at https://www.windmillinn.co.uk/menu.
This event is organised by Club RetroTorque — if you haven't already, feel free to join our Facebook Page to stay in the loop about future meets, drives, and gatherings.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
