By 1992 the event was being organised jointly by the SVR and the Worcester Bus Preservation Society. That year's 'Vintage Vehicle Rally' on 11 October at Kidderminster was attended by more than 100 classic vehicles including some seventy buses, thirty cars and a dozen commercial vehicles. Eight single decker and four double decker buses provided a shuttle between Kidderminster and Bewdley.<ref>SVR News 106</ref>
The event continued in the same format until the twelfth and final 'Classic Vehicle Day' organised in conjunction with the Worcester Bus Preservation Society which was held on 14 October 2001. It included "...''the usual 'Bewdley Shuttle' and Green Street 'Park & Ride' services''".<ref>SVR News 139</ref> The latter service allowed the SVR public to park in a hired car park in the town and catch a classic bus to the Railway, while the classic vehicle event took place on the station car park. In early 2002 the agreement to use the town car park was withdrawn and the October 2002 event became was reduced in scope, becoming a "Classic Car & Bike Day"with no buses. <ref>SVR News 142</ref> Shortly before that time, a passenger was injured after falling from the platform of a bus as it was pulling away, caused by them doing something unexpected and that they should not have been doing or even considering. This uncovered an issue about the responsibility of insurance cover for the buses and other vehicles attending the festival, which contributed to its demise<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1737&highlight=buses SVR Forum thread] (Retrieved 18 July 2020)</ref>.
