Cheers for that,

Might have to pop into Hebden Bridge and see what passes through.

What a fantastic list of cars!

I'm going to have to see this, Maybe Early Sunday Morning to see them head off from Harrogate.

Anyone else going?

Depends on the weather I guess. Might be tempted to nip over to Chatsworth for the Saturday lunchbreak and see whats knocking about.

Planning on heading over to Holme Moss/Holmfirth on the Saturday. See if i can get some pics.

That was fun as I've been out to watch them pass.
Must be very cold as most of the cars were open topped!
They dont hang around much. Its not everyday you get to see old farts in Korean boxes get over taken by cars older than themselves!

Also out for a look well worth it.
Some very interesting old motors but I missed the 10 litre Star Gordon Bennet. Anyone get a photo to share ?

I was going to go to Chatsworth, but ended up not being able to make it. Did anyone go and get some photo's, it would be great to see some.

Well what a way to spend a Saturday! Got upto Holme moss for about quarter to Two to a bit of cloud cover and then.......


Hail on Biblical proportions for about 10 minutes then it was windy enough to blow your socks off.
Got two pictures on my camera then the battery decided to pack up That meant all my pics of cars are crap from my 'Phone.
Many gorgeous cars, those Bentleys are one mean beast. And Kudos to those in the open tops it was bloody freezing!

1925 Bentley 3/4



1934 MG PA



1922 Bentley 3L Speed



1934 Riley March Special (Drivers have gone for erm..... To see the sheep



1934 Lagonda M45 Tourer



And the Creme de la Creme....And my favorite(Made the same year as my house).
1905 Star Gordon Bennett

10 litre and sounded wonderful when he pulled away from the timing point.


Sorry about the pic quality

[kevin63]

Thanks for those, it was a real shame about the weather, they deserve a medal.
