Were entered for the Concours D'Elegance in the TR3a on the Friday evening and hoping for another trophy after our win in the 2016 event.

Come and say hello if you are around.

Have a good journey and hopefully bump into you over the weekend - Weather forecast is for 28 degrees from now until well after the event!

Good news.

No need to worry about the roof leaking.

Just overheating...

Also heading down from Somerset. 3 x Maserati, (GT, 4200 and Spyder) and a DB9. Went a couple of years ago and it was excellent fun, especially the rally on the Saturday. The lack of people, ability to wander through the pits, availability of good resturants and proper cars make it a hidden gem.
See all there.

Do you have to have your car vetted to attend the race? Surely not?

I presume you mean just to go and watch? Then no.

We went in my Alfa Spider with friends in the F430 Spider. We did the Rallye on Saturday & it was fantastic.

A kind member of the Alfa Owners Club sent me this.


The racing was good too. Very sad crashes though inc the fatality.
