I have a Ruby as I can still get in and out of it and can still afford it. I enter it in as many events as possible, Inter-Reg rallies, VSCC rallies and autotests, and Ian Grace's Cotswold. I have great fun, and am still speaking to the wife, various navigators and most organisers! I can't help enjoying disaproving looks from a certain sort of spectator turning up in a very expensive, potentialy very fast 20's sports car that never gets entered in anything too quick or faintly dangerous.
Eligibilty is as historic and arcane as debates about Antidisestablishmentarianism, ie much pointless hot air best ignored.
VSCC rallies are increasingly being open to pre-41 cars. Not just in the very easy Champagne class, but this year as well as the Trophy class for cars with a buff form, there is a Clubmans class which offers the same navigational challenges and intellectual rewards as Trophy and open to any pre-war car.
And good heavens, the next chance of rallying any sort of Seven including a Ruby is just a few weeks away; the Welsh Scatter. Quick, whizz to the VSCC web site and download an entry form.
Which indicates other sporting uses for a Ruby, rally recceing and turning up to marshall.
Hope to see many at Presteigne.
