Organised by Swindon-based automotive content creator SamTurbs, the event took place at The Ridge Bar & Grill at Shaw Ridge Leisure Park.
Visitors travelled from across Wiltshire to attend, with a steady flow of vehicles arriving throughout the evening and captured by our photographer Harry Harnett.
Rows of modified, performance and classic cars filled the site, including German saloons, Japanese imports, motorcycles and high-performance supercars.
SamTurbs, who has built a growing following on Facebook and YouTube through his coverage of UK car culture, remained on site alongside members of the local motoring community.
The Simply Mustangs group was among those attending, bringing a selection of Ford Mustang models from multiple decades. The display drew large crowds as visitors gathered around the vehicles during the night.
The meet was held in partnership with The Ridge Bar & Grill.

In contrast this organised car meet, the event comes as Swindon continues efforts to tackle unauthorised car meets which encourage anti-social driving and unauthorised street racing. Public Spaces Protection Order powers remain in force in parts of the town to address dangerous driving, excessive noise and disruptive car activity.
Organisers of this event made clear the meet was strictly static, with those attending urged to act responsibly and respect nearby businesses and residents.
Further events arranged by SamTurbs are expected to take place at The Ridge in the coming months as the town’s organised car scene grows in popularity. He is also hosting a Cars and Coffee event on Sunday from 9am.
