Worth a visit just to see a wall to wall display of Bentleys, from pre-war to specials to Conti GTs......
Includes Bentley only races and Morgan Challenge. Also possible CMMC involvement. |

Looking forward to this Meeting, my favourite of the year. A truly friendly, relaxed, informal atmosphere. Lots of Bentleys as you would expect, Fiscar, Morgan Aero Challenge, and much more, and some fascinating machinery in the paddock.
The perfect antidote to the hassle, and crowds of the Classic. If you are competing let us know and we will try to get a snap or two. Cheers, Bauble. |

Thought as I’ll now be at the meeting it would be a good idea to find a timetable, but........ Regardless, it will be a very early start.

Lovely old fashioned meeting. Will be there with FISCAR who have a reasonable grid of interesting cars boosted with some pre 64 cars. Hope to catch up with you Bob, John & Mike.

Was it Geoffrey Palmer in Reggie Perrin that coined the phrase ‘Bit of a cock up on the organisational front?’
That’s what we’ve got this weekend. Thought the silence from Race organiser was a bid odd, but turns out they couldn’t find my emailed entry. After a while they confirmed they had it but I’m second reserve. 40 entries so I can live with that. I’m sure a couple of old bags of bolts will either fail to show or expire in Q- not that I would wish the latter on any fellow competitor..... |

Apart from a wander through the garages we will be in our usual spot John.

Done as much as I can, just got to wait now to see if I make off the reserve list and into the race.
P6 o/a, P2 in Techniques Trophy and first pushrod Morgan...... |

Some very odd grids in the later qualifying sessions, as is the norm for this meeting.

Geraint's Lister is indeed a lovely car with proper history and it was great to have it run in my Archie S B race a couple of times when Roberto Giordanelli owned it. Finished 2nd both times if I remember correctly.
Herewith a few more shots but if you want better ones, please take a look at John's link above. It was good to chill out with you at Luffield for a couple hours on Saturday, John. One of my favourite cars at the meeting was Chris Pring's Allard J2 (6), which unusually, had the early Ford/Mercury V8 with Ardun heads and an absolute shoe in for the FISCAR series, so hopefully he will join us. The big K3 (2) of Mark Butterworth has run with us before but it struggles to last 30 minutes without mechanical issues and frying its brakes, so Mark prefers to run it in shorter races. It's a heavy old beast. |
