Super news today. Vauxhall Heritage will be bringing three historic Vauxhalls from their collection - their 1911 Prince Henry, their 1918 D-Type WW1 Staff Car and their 1926 OE 30-98! With 150 cars booked in and along with the collection of heavy military vehicles we are expecting, there should be quite a display in the Paddock!

A couple of videos,

All set and about to head for the airport, arriving London tomorrow lunchtime.

More entries arriving all the time - another Vauxhall 30-98 and another Alvis today. Entries just went through 150, plus the Vauxhall Heritage cars and the military convoy, so it's going to be a packed paddock this year.

Looking forward greatly to seeing everyone next weekend.

Only able to make the Saturday, but what a super day.

Perfect weather, excellent company with a good diversity of cars, rounded off with the Hurricane display before the BBQ.

Thank you Ian and Jayne for all your hard work and efforts.

Thanks David,

We were incredibly lucky with the weather and the turnout was fantastic. Getting the Hurricane twice was a surprise bonus and the evening display was spectacular. Thanks to everyone who came along to make the weekend so special.

It was also great to sign up five new members on the day.

We fly home on Saturday and next week I'll be able to provide a fuller report with photos and videos.

Really good weekend. The rally was great fun, paddock pleasantly full with some interesting vehicles. Enjoyed jazz band and barbeque, a few more stalls wouldn't be a bad thing.
One day I shall turn up in my M type! Looking forward to next years event. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thanks Derek,

We enjoyed ourselves enormously too. I am trying to build up the stall/trader side of Saturday - perhaps anyone reading this could spread the word at other autojumbles, like Beaulieu in September?
