Stonor Supercar Sunday

The selection of cars was ok although some of them were a little dubious to be classed as supercars

I was originally interested in displaying my car and looked at this about a month ago. At the time, they wanted £25 per person for me to display my car at their show - which basically meant that it would cost me £50 for my g/f and I, so that they could have my car on display.

A few weeks ago - as part of a club - it became £15 - but I think that was still per person.

I thought it was taking the p***s a bit - as did other people in the club. And have seem posts from other owners (related to general events, not this one specifically) - that they're getting fed up with it. The price to attend these events seems to be quite expensive now - and all you typically get for it is a few scratches on your car that you didn't have when you arrived, thanks to members of the public being less than careful.

If these places really want a decent selection of cars, they need to make some basic changes - not least, so that it doesn't feel like they're ripping the owners off.

Well said. I agree with your comments 100%
More of us, with these collectable cars, must make a positive stand agains these event organisers charging us for bringing our cars to their shows.
Without our cars, they have no event.

Hi Mark,

Glad you decided to bring the Dodge. Hope that the F.360 behaved itself and got you home.
Great meeting you and your family at this special event at Stonor Park.
Good photo's of other cars, especialy the last one of the Countach, thanks.
Tadek.

Hi Tadek,

Good to chat the other day. That Countach looked stunning, what a car.

The 360 is going in for a new clutch so all good.

May see you at Stock Row & Nuffield Motorsport Day?

A full gallery of well over 400 images is now live on my website including plenty of interesting spots from the car park :-)

Hope you enjoy them

Thanks for posting these Tim; great pictures which have given me a really good idea of what was on offer at the event. The Alfa 8Cs would have been good to see, but for the cost of entry, plus all the hassle getting there, the rest of the show looked a bit thin. The car park seemed every bit as good as the show itself!

Don't think I'll be bothering next year at £50 for two people.

Hi Mark,

Hope that you have the new clutch in situ and she drives well?
Sorry never made it to Stoke Row.
Next trip with the Countach will be to Silverstone Classics this coming Saturday. Are you going?
