Hundreds of spectators descended on Nairn Links as more than 200 vehicles went on display for the sixth Wheels of Nairn.

Cars ranging from the years before the First World War to modern machines were joined by motorcycles, rally cars, competition vehicles and some rather special examples of motoring history.

More than 350 vehicles had originally registered for the event, although strong winds forced organisers Nairn BID to cancel the stallholder element on safety grounds.

Despite the conditions, more than 200 vehicles made it onto the Links and competed across 13 different classes.

The biggest prize of the day went to Richie Ubych, whose Porsche 356 was crowned Best In Show and earned its owner a trophy and winner’s hamper sponsored by RM Towbars.

Alister Fyfe claimed Best Bike In Show with his 1960 BSA Gold Flash, receiving a trophy and £50 voucher from The Havelock Bar.

The Jaguar Drivers Club was named Best Club Stand.

There was also a new prize for 2026, with spectators themselves invited to decide which vehicle deserved the inaugural People’s Choice award.

Almost 100 votes were cast and Sian Glanrid Jones took the honour with a 1960 MGA Roadster.

Nairn BID manager Lucy Harding said:

“Congratulations to all of the winners.

“As always it was a tough job for this year’s judges.

“The display of vehicles was sensational, and we are truly grateful to each and every person who comes along to take part in Wheels of Nairn.

“The event has grown year on year.

“We are also pleased that the People’s Choice award was popular.”

She confirmed the People’s Choice category will return for Wheels of Nairn in 2027.

The event also extended into Nairn town centre through a car treasure hunt which began at the start of September.

Thirteen miniature cars were hidden in shop windows, with each representing a letter which participants had to collect before working out the three word answer, Nairn Car Sales.

The treasure hunt was designed to encourage people attending Wheels of Nairn to explore more of the town and visit local businesses.

Harding said:

“These hunts have proved very popular and we have had great feedback from people taking part and from the businesses themselves.

“It really does get people moving around the town.”

She also thanked the growing number of local businesses supporting the event, including Nairn Car Sales, which has been involved since Wheels of Nairn began in 2019.

The Bandstand Bar provides vouchers for category winners while The Nairn Wool Shop makes the event’s rosettes by hand.

For an event which began six years ago, Wheels of Nairn has steadily established itself as a fixture in the town’s calendar.

Even a blustery day on the Moray Firth could not keep the cars, bikes or crowds away.
