It's a 60 mile run round the Warwickshire countryside, seeing some nice little villages and taking in some nice roads too. This year also involved a trip to MIRA on the two mile straights track. Unfortunately we were limited to a top speed of 50mph on the straights and 30mph on corners. Probably a good thing as the corners were far more banked than I anticipated!
Some very nice cars on the run, my favourite probably being the Jaguar C-Type from the Jaguar Heritage Trust Museum. Loads of others too, but a fair few modern cars too, which just added to the event. Here's a few photos of some of the cars from the run.
Certainly a worthwhile event, and one that everyone should add to their calender.
Bugatti T35A - Original body and interior, but had Vitesse front suspension. Odd.
The Jaguar C-Type from the JHT Museum.
Lemon Mk2. I liked this car, nice and mean.
Spitfire Mk3 with a GT6 bonnet on. Didn't see this out on the run, but looked nice parked up.
There was a very healthy turn out of Triumphs, with only Austin being in competition for the marque most represented at the event. Some thirsty old beasts came, a few Corvettes, a Pontiac Firebird, a Mini Van with a Rover V8 in the back, an Ultima Can Am to name but a few. Unfortunately, once again I forgot to take any photos of my own Vitesse. Bugger.
