SILVERSTONE CLASSIC, July 22nd, 23rd and 24th.

I wonder if we'll be there in 2011 ?  Depends how many people bring their cars to the 2010 event !!

"Oh, I think we will be .... just received an email from Silverstone ... looks good" SH3

[Martin M]

I think I could display my car then. I will most probably be in the country and car hopefully will be in near-perfect condition

After this wekend I think the answer is a definite yes, however you need to get a bit of assistance, far too much to do on your own.

Hup ...

Have just attended the Silverstone Classic media day and its going to be a great weekend. Eight hundred race cars and a thousand drivers. Off track there are 50 year celebrations for the Jaguar E Type, hopeful of a thousand examples, and the MG Midget and Porsche Owners Club, also hoping to get a thousand cars together. Sunday will also feature Picnic In The Park where families are encouraged to watch the racing on large screens while munching their sandwiches to the sounds of a one hundred piece live orchestra in the background. Racing will include Group C so the Lancia LC2 should make an appearance. For those not wanting culture there will be three live tribute bands, The Stones, Ten CC and one other that for the life of me I cant remember but they must be good because Louise Goodman told me so. There will be the usual air display with Spitfire and Mustang, hot air ballons and parachuters. The annual lawn mower Grand Prix will take place, the new pit building will be open for business and a fleet of Routemaster buses will ferry spectators around. Thats about it except, be careful when buying tickets. Advance for Friday, usually a qualifying day is a hefty £35, and children under sixteen have to pay £5 per day. Full details at the website. Lastly, the organisers gave me four laps around the circuit in a race Alfa so they can do no wrong.

Hang on, there is a special discount 2 for 1 offer if you buy via the LMC special code so DON"T just go to the website and buy tickets.
Using the LMC code is also the ONLY way you will be able to bring your lovely Lancia onto our club display as you also get a car pass included.
Full details coming.

But Peter is absolutely correct that it is going to be a great weekend (it always is) with lots to do and see.

Martin.

Good reply.

Wishbone Ash & Suzi Quatro (should that be Suzi Integrale?)

July 22nd, 23rd and 24th.

This is one of the best events of the year and you can have your Lancia parked right in the middle of it! Three days of world class historic motorsport, car clubs, autojumble, spares, models and interesting stuff.

What was some years ago the Coys Historic event became the Silverstone Classic and is now probably better than it ever was, lots of details at www.silverstoneclassic.com or put silverstone classic into You Tube and have a look.

We have had a good display there for the last couple of years but this year we want to make it much bigger and better, and a focus for meeting up with other members.

The ONLY way of getting your car into our Club display area is to book admission tickets via the website above or tel 0871 231 0849, you must also quote the special code C11116 ('C', four x 'one', 'six') which will ensure you get a vehicle pass for the track centre display area.

HURRY, HURRY, HURRY.  The cut off date for reduced price tickets and a display pass is end of June, so you must book now.

It would be very useful if you could let me know what car you are bringing and on which days so that we can make the best display each day.

CHANGE OF CODE.

The CORRECT code for buying tickets is C11116 ('C', four x 'one', 'six').

Sorry for any confusion.

Details of camping are also included once you get into the system via the code.

[Martin D]

Thanks everyone who let me know about the problems with the Booking Code, it works now !

Martin.

Just to let everyone know you can successfully book online using the code and get the appropriate discount.
