Got to admit -- when Lord March puts on a weekend party for members of the GRRC he doesn't do it by halves.

The diversity of spectacular machinery in this footage is incredible.

Anyone know how I can become suddenly obscenely wealthy, have a country estate in West Sussex with a couple of tasty historic racers in a converted barn adjoining the 17th century manor house, become a 45 year old gentleman racer and live in a UK that enjoys summer like this all year round? Not really prepared to go the Dorian Gray route but all other suggestions considered....

Great link Don.

Still time to hop on a plane - there are no less than three (3) historic Shelby American Daytona Coupes entered!

Who knew the owners would be so generous...? I mean, they must to the real deal, surely?

I missed yesterday's footage, but I'm looking forward to watching some of this tonight.

Great news about your GTO. I'm looking forward to an update on your build thread with a video!

Yes, same here PA.

I'd heard that there was to be a number of older touring cars on the first day which wouldn't have interested me much. Wouldn't have minded seeing the early morning riding to hounds though!

I'll be tuned in tonight for hopefully some big banger sporties and open-wheelers.

We need a vid of the GTO making noise!!

Don, they were on last night. Not sure if they get a second run tonight. Overall a pale imitation of the Revival.

Sorry, no video. (You know I'm a Luddite)

With all the fabrication and bodywork that has gone on in the shed over the years there was quite a bit of hidden dust, etc, around the place. With only extractors fitted the shed quickly looked like a snow dome when the engine rumbled into life.
