That's a rather posh looking website John! Even pics, videos & a forum! Still it is a great event & long may it continue.

those attending this event will be pleased to know there are at present 79 cars entered so weather permitting this will be a good turnout.

i'm told it is still not too late to enter

A grand day out was had by all[:D]

Another well planned, well organised, well marshalled run. Many thanks to all the organisers & helpers.

Good to see some faces again, & hello to Roy with his nice original Inca Yellow early DHC, believed to be a press car for the UK launch of the DHC. The DHC looks really good in Inca - why was it never a production colour?

Looking forward to the video John ........

Excellent! Wish I was there. The weather here was bloomin' awful on the day so driving the TR wasn't really possible. Went out in the Mini though and met up with a collection of vintage and classic tractors during a stopover on their all-day road run. Nice to see them all but would have been better if they'd have been Triumphs.
