Hi
Re the Lotus, of course it was the Mk 10 which was bristol engined and that didn't have the streamlined hump behind the drivers head.
Hadn't spotted LOY but I do know of that one there was quite a good article about it in one of the mags last year.
But what about the other one? The first car in ?green? . |

I hope you got a discount Rick. It was the entrance fee that kept us away. |

great minds think alike eh Peter!! aye its a good 'do' definitely.
zandycap, as far as I can tell the ticket pricing structure has been tweaked, with two tiers of price depending on whether you want close-in paddock access or not. The non-paddock-access price this year is I think £13.50 (advance booking), which for a day's motorsport (and other stuff) compares quite well to other events of this type IMO.

Yes, but not sure which day yet, or whether to buy a 'Paddock Ticket' (25 quid - Bleedin' radiators!). |

Does LOY 500, the red Bristol, win the 'Best Trailer in Show' prize? I think so, much better than an Ifor Williams borrowed from a farm and still covered with cow poo! |
