I'll be coming from Gloucestershire and picking my dad up from Greenlands, also about a mile and half away!

Chris,
I didn't know that Phillpot was your dad.
Or that he lives in Greenland.

Is he actually Father Christmas?

Seriously, for those thinking of travelling to this interesting event from further afield, the address is:-

Classic World Racing / David Gerald Sportscars
66 Arthur Street,
Lakeside,
Redditch,
Worcestershire,
B98 8JY
Greenland.

You will be warmly welcomed.

Hopefully i can get along to this, as it was David Gerald that supplied my first ever TVR, albeit when they were base in Inkberrow.

Thanks to every one who came along today, the weather looked a bit gloomy to start with but it got better later.
It was good to see the regulars plus some new faces also some stunning cars
Hope everyone got home safe.
See you at Burghley!

Cheers Mike

Thank you for your kind hospitality today.

Coffee,snacks and a very nice pork stuffing and apple sauce bap all went down a treat.

Great turn out and lots of friendly chatter with old faces and new.

Thanks to all concerned

Kind regards Jas

Very pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning, thanks for your hospitality

An enjoyable couple of hours. Took a few photos I'll show here. Has to crop and / or shrink them to get under 2Mb limit. Needs to be raised I think. Only takes 5s or so here to upload each photo as it is.

The Titan project was interesting and a lovely interior (apologies for one being blurred):







Spent a while chatting to the owner of this one. 18" alloys, 450 engine + turbo with 1 bar boost producing 450bhp plus:

Other none TVR owners turned up too but at least they had Rover V8 engines A Marcos Mantara and a Mantaray:



This was interesting. A Cobra replica. I'm no Cobra expert so couldn't tell until I spotted the tax disc in the window, A real one isn't £230 VED! Apparently used by the Vinnie Jones character in Lock, stock & two smoking barrels:

[TVRJAS]

I searched for the Cobra when I got home after him telling me the same thing..
