Classic Car Show - Rolls Royce, Hucknall 17 June

[jcs]

This event takes place on Saturday 17 June on the RR factory sports ground in Hucknall, near Nottingham.

Over the last few years we've usually had a few Beats attend and it's a very pleasant day out with cars of all sorts, old and newish.

I have a form from the organisers and will book some space if people will post to let me know if they'd like to attend. I need to confirm attendance numbers by 17 May.

We need to be on site by 10:00 and usually remain until 15:30.

Maps (or a street address for SatNav owners) will be available in due course.

Put me down for a possible :) will have to check a few dates before confirming.

I've booked a small plot at the show on 17 June for anyone who wants to Beat a path to Rolls Royce, Hucknall. Cars on site by 10:00 if you want to turn up.

WOW!

For the first time in 6 years, this event WILL include a tour of the test installations, museum, new engineering works, a run-up of an RR jet engine on the external test rig (fantastic) AND a fly past (various planes - last time there was a Spitfire, bi-planes and a jet or two!)

The car show is usually good, but the re-introduction of the tour makes it an absolute MUST!

Please let me know if you're interested as you will need a Car Entry Pass, which includes several Pedestrian Passes (H&S regs because of the factory tour etc.). I can send this to you by snail-mail, so please post your intent here, email or PM me as soon as possible.

Cheers

Hiya John,

Sorry I am so late in replying, but would it be possible to squeeze an NSX onto your stand? Can I still get a ticket? (Car, driver, 1 passenger?)

Sammy,

No problem - I'll snail-mail you a pass for the show. It's a copy of that supplied to me, so you'll need to supply some details to Mick Murphy on arrival. He'll be organising cars and stands on the way in to the grounds. Just tell him the NSX is a Beat on steroids!

Cheers
John

No problem Dick,

Just confirm your postal address to me by PM or email and I'll send you the necessary entry form. You'll need to give Mick Murphy some details on arrival and tell him your car's a Beat Buddy!

Cool - my car qualifys as classic too - original '91 just the same as the original press shots (red with black roof) and also no kit, no sound system, no loud exhaust etc etc, :D
We should perhaps park at each end with the Beats then slightly forward so we are like the 'body guardss' providing safety for our little celebrities. :p

[PP1]

:D that sounds quite cool, a NSX and a GTR as bodyguard. Who's gonna mess with the Beat stand lol

Although, I m thinking of bringing somthing a bit more suitable. A 1976 Champion White Honda Civic with only 30k miles. Its my friends car, he is gonna be away on the 17th and I know where he live hmmm........ if I beg real hard there might be a slim chance.

Very nice, but not terribly butch as a bodyguard!

[PP1]

Very true, come to think of it. I don't really fancy driving the classic Civic from Kent to Hucknall :p

Just a quick thanks to John, I got your letter today.

ps. I love the Avantime since I saw it at a motorshow. I remember the one I saw is a dark metallic purple, looks really good. It didn't sale too well in the UK, hence becoming very rare now.

Hiya - could you let us have the postcode for the SatNav?

See you tomorrow. :D
