Pics: PH Sunday Service At Silverstone

The weather was kind to us again as we headed to Northamptonshire for the latest PH meet

---

The sun shone on another PH meet at the weekend, giving us hope that the wet weather curse that used to follow us around may have passed.

As a result we had a great turnout at Silverstone on Sunday, where our hosts atSilverstone Lotus presented the entire Lotus range including two Evoras - and two of the team behind the new car came all the way from Norfolk to show people around this great new machine.

PistonHeads took along a Panamera S too, giving PHers their first chance to have a good look at the new Porsche. The number of people who took the opportunity to have a sit inside throughout the day only served to confirm that this is a car that people want to know more about.

Interestingly, this was our biggest meet yet outside of the M25, attracting over 100 cars ranging from an Austin 7 to a Diablo. PH certainly attracts all sorts of enthusiasts, we hope that you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks to all who came along and to Nick for the pictures. Keep an eye on the homepage this week for details of our next meet.

What's the black car with the plate 25Y? Very nice.

GB Roadster apparently? Something using a collection of VAG parts, was a 3.2 Turbo V6, nice car, apparently the first right hand drive in the UK? If you check out the GBR website, it's that car that appears in the videos from Goodwood I think...

Lapis?
Cobalt?

Its not boring Ocean blue like mine thats for sure!

I was at a Caterham Drift day in the opposite car park at the same time. Nice to see some great cars going past.

Not nice to see some people driving like total fools up and down the 40 mile an hour limit public road outside the circuit - not good for the reputation of these meets...
