Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[MartinC]

Hello all,

The Great Central Railway in Leicestershire will play host to a special event celebrating and remembering the era of National Service 1948 - 1962.

The organisers would like to extend an invitation to anyone able to bring along a vehicle made during the period 1948 - 1962.

I think the driver and one passenger gain free entry and train travel but I will confirm this later.

We are hoping for a very large gathering of veterans (people not cars!) and a fine display of period vehicles both military and civilian.

The date for the event is the weekend of September the 18th & 19th, 2010.

We're ideally looking for the types of military vehicles these chaps would have seen/used along with the types of cars they will remember from those years too. So, Vanguards, Consuls, Victors, Oxfords, Ensigns, Zephyrs, Crestas, Minxes, etc etc...
