Is this just down by the 'mad mile' / Kent Gateway?

I live up near Greenwich and am always heading down to Croydon past New Addington.

If so... PM me and if the weather's good and I'm free then I'll bring the old tractor along

1964 E-Type Jaguar S1 3.8 Roadster
1992 Morgan +4
1987 Ferrari 328
1965 Austin Healey 3000 MKIII.

Could do with a little more info about what you require and the format so that we can arrange drivers.

Thanks

Mike

I'm gutted I would have loved to have come along to this to try and help raise some money, but I'm away from Friday to Monday. I'm only a few miles away from West Wickham as well

Best of luck with the event.
