Looking forward to going this year and hopefully drag a few mates along who have later TVRs, so they can see some real one :-)

10am however some of us will be there earlier so come as early as you can I know you will be close by this year will be a little different with 4 different categories being judged.

Peoples choice/concourse Voted by everyone including the public if the wish to as other years.

The rest there will be a very select wink panel of judges from the UK and abroad that will do the judging.

The Best recently restored car ie last 18months or there abouts.

Best Modified car.

The Preservation award for cars that have never been restored but used and maintained and as original as possible this award will be a special award more to be revealed on the Day.

Looking forward to both the early drive up and the day and catching up with old and new friends and seeing lots of great cars.

If its Original loved and roadworthy then its a contender Mate but me thinks your talking about a future Non OE Restoration winner or Modification winner if you get that finger out hehe
There is one V6 Tuscan coming that I would want to give an award to and when you see it you will wonder why but I just love it I could never own it due to my compulsive polishing disorder wink that would spoil its patina
