Hi Barry,

If you haven't received an answer, I'll put your request for information in the March Newsletter, out next Friday.

Cheers,

M 189, our Spring Magazine is complete and will ship to the printers on Monday.

Now I need some material to get the Summer Magazine going as I'll need to get that wrapped up before our Big Move back to the UK end of May!

http://www.vintageminor.co.uk/Forumpix/The Grange Hotel.jpg As I have mentioned before, our repatriation to Blighty in June will open up the opportunity to mount spring and autumn Register gatherings – perhaps smaller, more relaxed and more intimate than the main event of our Summer Rally, but no l...

The website for the weekend is now live at https://www.vintageminor.co.uk/Summerra ... _2024.html.

There are still a few updates to add, so stop back to check for these as plans become finalized.

I just engaged the Eureka Jazz Band for Ludlow!

The routes for the two days are taking shape very well indeed. There seems to be no limit to the fascinating and hidden places of interest and amazing scenery and dramatic vistas in the area. And in a new development, for the first time, this year there will be an optional treasure hunt during the S...

Quick update. The car is now a rolling chassis again. All done except the wheels and fitting new Hartfords. I have also collected the cylinder block and head from Autosport in Seattle. They have magnafluxed the block (no cracks), rebored it, skimmed the gasket face and re-cut the valve seats and fit...

The website has been edited and maintained using Netscape for many years. Netscape ceased to be supported about 20 years ago and does not run on current versions of Windows, so I have been making all edits on my ancient desktop PC whose life hangs by a thread and in any case won't be any good on 240...

The weekend’s website is now in development and I will post the link to it here shortly. In the meantime, the Entry From is now available and can be found at https://www.vintageminor.co.uk/PWL%202024/Pre-War%20Ludlow%202024%20Entry%20Form.pdf If you require accommodation information, this will also ...

Just a quick note to wish all our members and Register friends a great Christmas and a fabulous 2024 motoring season.

Jayne and I are looking forward greatly to returning to England next June after living and working abroad for nearly 30 years.

To one and all we raise a virtual Yuletide glass!

Ian

Update 2023! The Maddox is still here at VMR HQ Seattle but the plan is to ship it back to the UK next spring and get it to Paul Maddox. One complication just sorted is the title for the car. It was sold from the Ellingson Motor Museum, Minnesota to Ian Samuel in Ontario, Canada in 2011 but he never...

Very good news today re the Ludlow Weekend. The VSCC is holding its 90th Anniversary Jubilee celebrations in Stratford-on-Avon next August and I have offered a VMR trophy for the Minor contingent, as part of the Light Car Section's element of the week. Because of this week, the LCES will not be hold...

Here you go, Barry. Please post away!
