The festival of the unexceptional is a car show held in England, featuring cars from the 1960s, 1970s and 1990s that were considered ordinary at the time, but are now quite rare. The festival was held earlier this year and received a turnout of over 1000 exceptionally unexceptional cars. Held in Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire, this show is rapidly growing in popularity each year.
