Spent the morning enjoying the RCR open day.

What a very enjoyable day this was. The cars presented beautifully, the great weather, the fantastic hospitality with food and drinks, a great crew on hand, and first rate organization.

I'll bet none of them will be able to talk tonight as I don't think any of them drew breath during the day such were the enquiries.

Standouts to me were the two lightweights. The coupe is just beautiful and with the LS7 in the back will make for more than a handful. I'd been told the glass molding was almost perfect and that's certainly the case.

The roadster?....well, I predict is going to be one hell of a seller. Much larger than I thought and will make one hell of a track car at very reasonable cost.

Dunno what the crowd count will be but the place was always full, and full with potential buyers. In the time I was there I chatted to two potential buyers for the coupe.

Pics I'm sure will come later from Craig and from what I saw, this was a most successful day.

It sounds like a good turn out.

Looking forward to seeing the cars at the Nationals!

Thanks Les for the feedback. Glad you like the cars. Sorry I didn't get to chat, but you saw how it was.

My head is still spinning. We had hundreds and hundreds of people through the factory.

Robert from Custom Kitcar counted over 100 people in the factory at one point with many more outside. We did have stuff on display outside as well along with BBQ etc.

Thanks to everyone that came out to have a look. Fantastic stuff.

We didn't actually get that many Cobra Club members. But they will have plenty of opportunity to view the cars. I'll post some photos when I get a chance.

BMK, thanks for the photo. Beejay, open day over, now we've just got to get as many RCR cars to the Nationals as we can. We will have a very busy few weeks.

Robert from Custom Kit Car just gave me some photos. Most were in RAW format which I can't convert at the moment, so here are couple of the JPGs to keep you guys happy in the meantime.

RCR GT40 getting the finishing touches done to the sign writing.

Overhead shot, once it got really busy the photos inside stopped as Robert couldn't move around the factory easily.
