Simply Porsche - Beaulieu 7 June 2015

[Bluedot]

Only just noticed this next Sunday. What is it with the 7th June ? There's already the Wilton Supercar event that day, as well as a Soft Top Breakfast Club meet over at Goodwood!
I can't actually get to any of them as we're off to the races (the 4 legged kind) at Goodwood that day, possibility of popping into the breakfast club meeting beforehand though if we're up and out early enough. Still a bit gutting to be missing out on the other 2 events.

Yes, I'm gutted as I wanted to attend all three events.

Will probably just be going to the Porsche event!!

Ditto I would normally do all three of these so a shame they all clash. Have chosen Wilton House for next weekend. At least there are other goodwood breakfast clubs during the year. Shame to miss Beaulieu.

Since I'm attending the SuperCarShowdown in Beaulieu in August Im tempted to go to Wilton House on Sunday instead of Beaulieu. Tough decision.

I thought that I had achieved the best compromise by attending Wilton House on Saturday and Beaulieu on Sunday.

However I have just established that Saturday is Classics and Sunday in Supercars.

Debating whether to sell my tickets for Saturday at Wilton House as I've no real interest in classics.

We will be heading down to Beaulieu on the Sunday in the Gallardo lol. A few people want to have a chat about exhaust so going down to see whats what. Will probably be the only non Porsche at the show.

I think if you look on Beaulieu's website under events or some such...

I went last year and there appeared to be a good selection of all models, most appeared to be "enthusiast owned" rather than "high end" (to my inexperienced eyes, at least).

I am a member of TIPEC (The Independent Porsche Enthusiasts Club) who the show is run in conjunction with, and can tell you its 99% enthusiasts coming down in their cars. If its like last year than there will pretty much be at least 1 porsche of every variant there (bar anything ridiculously rare) from the last 50 years. It would probably be the best place you could go to get the low down on boxsters, as there is always a big turn out from the mid engined cohort. The show might even sway you in a different direction. Hopefully the weather will sort itself out before Sunday.

Agree - last year there was a great cross section of just about every model - there were even a few advertised for sale there.

Boxsters will be very much in evidence, in every flavour.

There are quite a few of the boxa.net fraternity going ;-) I'll be one of them in my black 987.1.

[bluenosewrx]

Thanks guys. much appreciated

[Trotmant]

I'm planning to go down and arrive for about 10am, what about others? does it fill up quickly or will there be plenty of room around 10? gates open at 9,30am on the site

Couple of shots from today...

Was a good day

[Bikeracer1098]

Was a great day.
Arrived at 9am and stayed until lunchtime.
Then went across to the Wilton House Suoercar event which was absolutely superb.

Altogether had a fabulous day.

Beautiful photos - thanks

Here's a snap from above, including my car which should win a prize for being the only car that hasn't been washed, let alone polished.

shame that it was on the same day as Wilton house as I would have liked to attend that one.
any more pics?
any 911 speedsters or 959s?

Agree, after attending Beaulieu in the morning I popped across to Wilton House at lunchtime for the afternoon.

Best of both worlds, half a day at each venue.

Wilton House supercar event was also superb, highly recommended

love the 914
