Sure most people know about this already, but there's the British Sport Car's day at Alford this Sunday. Arrive from 10.30/ 11.00am onwards with track access for members of some of the local clubs, or can just park and chat with others. MGs, Triumphs, Lotus, TVRs etc. Last year was good fun.

I presume this is open to anyone to wander down for a look (even if their car is not of UK origin...)? Would be a nice day out if the rain stays away. Is there an entry fee or anything? How big a turnout is expected?

Cheers

The British Sports Car Owners day this Sunday is run by the TVR, MG & Triumph owners clubs and is open to owners, non-members, members and guests of any TRADITIONAL British Sports car marques. Basically a show and shine with limited track access.

Entrance is £5 per car. Event is free to the public who can park in the public car park.

On site space is restricted this year due to ongoing construction.

Last year was another Noble on track so I imagine so, although not certain as I'm not officially involved in it.

Might be an idea for people to meet in Aberdeen beforehand to go?

Well Nobles are British, they may be assembled elsewhere but market and sold in Britain so no issue with Nobles attending.

There will another noble in attendance. The owner has had a few mods done since Alford 2007, or should I say his car has, but he still cant get to grip with that back end even with his new tyres specially purchased in Holland.

If anyone else intends to come along with their "traditional" or "special" British Sports car then just park up in the public car park, enter on foot and speak to one of the organisers to see if your car can be entered. Car entry is a fiver, public entry is free though we will ambush you to purchase some raffle tickets.

Was a bit of a prang with the front end Iain. Hopefully won't be so eventful this year or I'll be walking home, biggrin

Just home from said event, excellent day and loads of nice cars. Would have been better if the Cerb didn't take the scenic route round the track during the sprint event !

Really enjoyed the day, many thanks to Baz and Bob, never seen so many TVR's together in Scotland, a real joy to see and meet new people smile and no major 'offs' either, just the odd bit of exuberant driving laugh Plus the TVR gods must have kept the sun out for us all!

Just like to thank everyone who helped organise a great day. It was great to see so many TVRs together and get a chance to play with the Cerb a bit on the track. Hope to see you all again soon.
