Hi,

Would you like to bring your Esprit to a couple of charity gatherings we have organised in the south west forum?

  • The Raleigh Rally, Sherborne Castle on Sunday 21st June
  • Motors at the Manor, Kingston Lacy on Sunday 19th July
We are hoping to raise some money for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, whilst having a good day out including lunch / picnic and a run through the Dorset countryside.

The promo website for these PH events is:

We also took pictures of our cars around the helicopter and the crew were kind enough to answer some of our questions, e.g.
