Had a great day today meeting old friends and new (Thanks for the flap jack Ukkid), well done to everyone who helped organise the event.
Had a good run up the A1 with a Silver Cerb (Anyone on here?) and Raceboy in his Chim.

Enjoyed the day, bloody cold at times though and a major coffee shortage smile

Great line up of cars, I heard around 640 ?

Agreed. A good event & some nice roads en-route from Derbyshire.
I'm the Purple Paradise S6 in the middle of the photo.

That's a cracking colour for a cerb!

We counted just 49 Cerbs between 10.30 and 2pm(ish). As this was my first time I was expecting more of them really. Are they really this rare or are there zillions currently being restored?

That Rolex Blue one on RL7s is my car's twin. Looks like a good display of Cerbera hand brakes smile

I thought similar too I was watching the cars come in at around 10am for a good while and I was surprised to see so little Cerb`s with me having a slight bias towards them!

It was a great event though with a brill overall turnout.

I'll try to attend a couple of these things as of next year. I'm up to my eyes in house moves at the moment.

Mine was kind of there, or at least partly. The steering rack and coilovers were in the boot of my Audi parked just behind the trade stands.

The chassis and wishbones are in Sheffield, the diff, drive shafts and half shafts are at my parents house in Bedfordshire and the rest is in a workshop about 20 minutes from Burghley.

Next year, next year!

Pointless joining the TVRCC. You get nothing out of it. Complete waste of £50 (?)

Whoooa, grumpy Fubes! Whassup, did your dog not go missing last night or something? wink

Personally I find 12 copies of Sprint and 10% insurance discount worth every penny of the membership. Each to their own.

Yea completely pointless, they only organise events like this one that 642 cars attended and people are praising to the high hills. Yes you can turn up without having paid but that's not quite the point is it?
