A quick heads up on behalf of someone I know who is a member of Carlton and District Motor Club.
They are holding a short series of meets at Wilson Golf Course, Green Lane, Wilson just of the A453 a mile or so south of Donington Park.
Thursday evenings so hopefully not too many clashes with other events.

Arrive any time after 18:45.

Sadly I couldn't get to the early part of this but I did see an immaculate early '50s Bristol on it's way home and arrived to find a varied selection including a 30's Aston Martin, a Bugatti Type B in very nearly original trim, an absolutely as original 40k mile TR4, a DHC Elan with a lot of patina, I nice looking original E-Type coupe, Austin 7, a Jowett and various other notables that I somehow did not get around to remembering in detail at the time.
I do recall an enduro rally prepared Escort, a visiting Ferrari, a rather rorty open Triumph Spitfire that may have had a larger than normal engine, a mark 1 Triumph 2.5 PI saloon, a nice looking Lotus Esprit and several other cars that were there at the time of my late arrival.
The Bugatti was clearly a some great interest to most there and there was much to be gleaned from the owner.
Nice location too. All being well with the weather I plan to be at the next one with the camera kit ready for deployment.

was the triumph pi loon grey with big minilights on? along with a white spitty thats loud and fook with a 2.5 in it?
You know I only really saw the PI from the front having been distracted by the Bugatti engine and chatter but I thought it was white. The Spitfire certainly sounded more like a GT6 but I assume if modified it might have been easier to chop the top of a GT6 and strengthen that ...Either of them (or both of them) yours by any chance? There can't be too many like that around ....
