Hello Guys,
Lets not forget the Hatch Beauchamp classic car rally this year. It is on Sunday 16th September at the Playing Fields, Hatch Beauchamp, Tauton, Somerset. It is between 11am-2pm ish. These time vary depending on what time people turn up with there cars. It is free to enter and if you have a car that you would like to show just turn up. Last year I think they had in excess of 400 cars, sadly only about 3 tvrs.

Are you trying to be funny?

Last year wasn't our best, but we still had over 20 cars there.

Perhaps he was at a different event, we were at the Thornfalcon Classic Car Show.

That event had nearly 800 cars in total, just a few more than 400.

Ok, so the numbers may be out and yes you are right it is called the Thornfalcon Classic & Sports car show. However, I do only recall seeing three TVRs and they were all V8S', there may have been more but amongst all that beautiful metal they must have been hard to spot. Anyway its on and turn up is the message.

You'd have to be blind to miss the TVR display.

In gate, turn left.

The organiser always put us in the same place, next to the Porkers with whom there is a friendly rivalry to see who can get the most cars.

Between TVR and Porsche, we take up a very large area.

Maybe you ended up in the overspill area last year, some TVRs had to park there because there was no space left in the main display area.

I might give it a miss this year, I've been for the last 3.
