Hello Leaf and Eric,
Dickie65 has set out the organisation of the Austin 7 Centenary Festival at Prescott on 20th July 2022 very well indeed. This event has been organised as an extension to the Centenary Rally at the Fire Service College at Morton in Marsh to enable those who would like to see Sporting Austin 7s in their natural environment - on a track.
There is cost to using a world class venue of the standing of Prescott Hill Climb the event being run on a not for profit basis by a small team of volunteers the intention is that it will benefit our chosen charity, Parkinsons UK, of which we hope everyone will approve.
The event will be open to the public who can pay on the day at the gate and Rally entrants in their Austin 7 will enjoy free entry, reserved parking alongside the track in the Orchard and the option of a convoy run up the hill for a tiny fee of £5, payable in cash on the day but now sadly this facility is already full to capacity.
For the entertainment of everyone there will be a Paddock full of ‘sporting Austin 7 s’ covering the entire 100 year history of our wonderful little cars and these Austins will be paying an entry fee of £50 for the car and two people with a reduction to £40 for cars already booking into Morton-in-Marsh.
Paddock cars will get 2 untimed individual runs up the hill.
Bookings of places should be made directly to the Festival organisers at
Austin7festival@gmail.com
Places are still available and are filling up nicely.
In addition to catering and a Jazz Band we are delighted to announce that along with the many rare and historic cars taking part, we have just had confirmation that the two existing Twin Cams and the Sidevalve Team Cars will be appearing, probably the first time all three have been seen together for at least 50 years.
Perhaps someone can confirm when this last happened?
We hope this clarifies the situation and hope that everyone will join in making this a truly historic ‘once in a lifetime event’
