Welcome to
the Vintage Minor Register's 2010 Summer Rally webpage.
The 2010 VMR
Summer Rally will return to Prescott and the glorious Cotswolds.
Come and enjoy
a wonderful weekend of rallying, touring and socializing among old friends
and new.
Below we hope
you will find all the Rally information you need to make your weekend a
most enjoyable one.
If you have
any questions, or need any further information or help in booking accommodation,
simply e-mail
the Register. This web page will be updated as more details of
the weekend are finalized.
Because this
is our tenth anniversary Rally, a number of special features are being
planned for the weekend.
(Photos of our 2003 Prescott meet may be found here and our 2005 meet here.)
Prescott Hill
has been reserved by the Register for Saturday 24th July 2010, but because
of the
considerable
cost of hiring the hill, insurance, etc., we need to be sure that we will
have
sufficient
entries to cover costs.
Interested
owners are therefore being asked to download, complete and return the Declaration
of Interest form.
If sufficient
numbers are received by the end of 2009, when the deposit falls due, then
we will
go ahead and
finalize the booking.
A number of vintage clubs have been invited and all pre-war cars will be most welcome to join us.
So please take
a moment to send in your form.
Please also
contact
the Register if you require any information further to that given below.
The Rally Itinerary

The view that awaits you

are being too energetic!

to order.
Arrangements
have been made with the Bugatti Trust to open their museum for us on Saturday.
