I went on my way back from Southampton last night in the company car.
There were around 50 cars (TR's, MG's, Ford Zodiac, Lambo Miura (someone said it was a replica but I'm not such an anorak), Porsches, R-R's, a Mk 5 Cortina!!!, Rovers (P5 and 6), an old Austin van, Minis, Beetles, VW vans, 2 Griffs, Tuscan (Tony Molloy), Cerb etc. and 15 bikes.
The car park was jammed. Not bad for a dismal May night. Will definately go next month.
I think it would be best to get there as early as possible as I got there at 8 but apparently it was full around an hour earlier.

I got there with ALT just before 7 as the heavens opened and it was about 1/3 full. Think there were 6 TVRs in all. Don’t know where the owner of the green S3 went, I saw you get out and then didn’t see you again?

Yep, pretty good evening considering the weather! And a burger van in car park as well!
Definitely worth a another trip up over the summer......
