No Wilton Classic & Supercar till 2017
Discussion
This morning while I was getting ready for Christmas things & looking ahead to next June & to go round Lord Pembroke's grounds to see some of the finest cars in the world, this dropped.
WILTON CLASSIC & SUPERCAR
RESCHEDULED FOR SUMMER 2017
With the vision for the all-new Wilton Classic & Supercar as exciting as it is ambitious, it has been decided today to reschedule the event for the Summer of 2017.
The vibrant new brand, with its theme, ‘Celebrating The Stories Behind The Cars We Love’, was only recently soft-launched, but a highly enthusiastic response has obliged the organisers to delay the event date to make the most of its potential.
“We’ve been taken aback by the widespread support for the vision,” enthuses the event host and creator, Lord Pembroke. “Its scope seems to grow almost by the day, so rather than compromise in any way, we’d rather deliver a perfectly-formed and exceptional show in 2017.”
With a bold new website central to the revised brand, there’s lots of new technical development, too. “We want to get the clever functionality right, which is getting more sophisticated all the time,” explains Pembroke. “We’re doing some very cool things. All very new.”
Moreover, Wilton Classic and Supercar has other plans due in the new year, all designed to prepare the ground for the new 2017 Wilton Classic and Supercar weekend.
Next up is the new web launch. Watch this space.
To say I was gutted when I read it was an understatement, I've been a huge fan of Wilton Classic & Supercar since the beginning & always look forward to it with glee, but to have to wait another 18 months is a killer of a wait!
On the other hand, I understand plans as awesome & ambitious as this require time, patience & also to go ahead with it & compromise it would be a bit of a crime but not as much as not having an event for us enthusiasts to enjoy. Mind you, I might start attending more shows up & down the land but not one of them deliver such the kind of enjoyment & camaraderie (as I like to call some things) as Wilton.
Thankfully Lord Pembroke will still be opening the gates to his estate every month for the Wilton Wake Up's to keep us all happy till his big plans are finally ready.
Sorry for the long post.
