Owners Kent / Surrey/ Sussex?

[greengreenwood7]

need some help please. Trying to get a message out to Ginetta owners and ideally would like to make contact with active club members in the above areas. Am organizing a run/meet for non massed produced cars, from Atoms, Cobras, thru to Westies. Its a run with a twist: 4 start points in the South all heading to Bentley Wildfowl/Motor Museum nr Lewes. Have had a good response so far with about 40 owners onboard. Anyone in contact with local organizers / active members? Anyone wanting more info welcome to PM/Email me. Owners welcome to join in from set start points, or if those aren't convenient make their own way to the venue. 6th Sept, aiming to arrive 11.00, venue has said that cars can park on lawned area and create a bit of a spectacle. Appreciate any help.

Sadly I have no Ginetta..
However I will be at Bentley Wildfowl to take alot of photos when you arrive.
I do love seeing classic cars.

You could ask somebody to put an ad on the Gineta Owners club site ?

I'll be up for this, car is still an ongoing project though.
Unfortunatly its pointless arranging a drive from where I am but will try and get the word out to people I know.

[greengreenwood7]

Yeah am Eastbourne so only a tad up the A22. Might be able to get another Ginetta as I've only just found out theres another local one! Also know a bloke with a Dutton Melos but guess we shall see on the day.

[Stew2000]

How many Ginetta's are there around Eastbourne? So far I've seen a green G20 and I think a blue G4 roadster.
btw. I live in Etchingham.
I don't think my '97 Charade classes as a classic car yet

Still.. looking forward to the day.
Apparently September 5th at Bentley is a Japanese Performance day (mostly Subaru's).
Be a great weekend

I havent seen the blue G4 but theres

G32 Coupe (Mine)
G20 (later type) one Eastbourne, another Bexhill
G30 (4 seater) Worthing
G33 Worthing but did see it advertised for sale not too long ago.
G15 of which 2 are on the Isle of Wright

Am not too sure Portsmouth/Kent way

Have posted your post on GO Club web site for you but no contact details are left and from there no email / PM link.

quick update on the run/meet. So far have 40 positives from Caterhams, cobras, tigers, nova, gt40, locosters,mk etc. still waiting a few more numbers as westies+ surrey caterham havent given me any numbers as yet, same for robin hoods - so with a decent day could see that grow to 50 which would be brilliant.
justin-w - wondered if you'd bumped into the other ginetta owner or the Melos?

[Justin-W]

I've passed given them both a message, trouble with the Ginetta one is he's not on the O/C or here. Just happened to be someone I bumped into at my old work and so an old colleague was going to pass on the message.

Sounds like a very big and interesting meet.

[Stew2000]

Any more news about the meet?

[Justin-W]

Havent heard back from any of mine, know its on the owners club and also sussex kit cars website. Just one of them things never know till the day.
But looks like I'll be on my todd, buddyless so come say hi!

[Stew2000]

Just remember. If you don't show up because it's raining, you're not British

[greengreenwood7]

Justin, as you say finalt numbers will be weather dependant - but so far in excess of 50 positive replies and actually still been adding a few new names in last days! if you are by yourself why not join the sussex it car folks - they'll be meeting at Chiddingly, am sure they'd welcome an extra bit of company!

[Stew2000]

It was a great day. I got a load of pics which I'll share a few later.
Thanks to who brought along the Blue G20r. My fav car of the moment. no idea how many photos I took of it.
There was also a black G32.
Was that your one Justin? it needs a bit of attention

[Stew2000]

102 photos of my 306 taken.

Yeah, mechanically its fine. Just got to finish the interior off with new seatbelts, and doorcards recovered when I find someone willing to give them ago. Apparently its a difficult job that no-one wants to touch other then that all whats needed is a respray.
As for the G20R it was the one I knew from my old work, hes doing the Brighton speed trials next weekend so if you want to see it again theres your chance.
