until last year I had attended as an exhibitor, of sorts, for several years as part of the CSCC team, and whilst I agree that the average age at RR is on the high side, I would say there is a very high proportion of competitors.

I would also suggest that the auto jumble is largely irrelevant to most competitors and would be better placed at a classic car show, rather than a motorsport show.
