As well as alternative events, might I remind Sevenists of the additional event at Shelsley.
It has already been disused here on the forum, recently featuring the seminal image of Louis Kings ascending the hill as the Seven's first public appearance, mere days after Sir Herbert announced the car in London. This year's Vintage event is on Sunday 3rd July, so some of you will be at Beulieu. Shelsley offers the opportunity to attend the world's oldest active motor sport venue, barely two weeks short of a hundred years since the Austin Seven commenced its competition career. The vigour with which the Seven is still active will be demonstrated by entries to VSCC classes, and to celebrate the Centenary, it is intended that Bert Hadley Championship contenders who will have taken part on the Saturday, will also be climbing the hill on the Sunday. This should produce an unrivalled turn out of competing Sevens.
There should be a large designated car park for spectators arriving by Seven, and MAC will be offering a discounted admission of £15.
As well as competing cars, it is hoped to have a good turn out of historic cars, and for those machines that are too original, or too noisy to remain hillclimbing, there should be demonstration runs during the lunch interval.
VSCC regs will be out in due course, Shirley Tull is in contact with PWA7C members re the Bert Hadley Championship. MAC will confirm spectator's arrangements and welcome advance booking, to qualify for discount and allow planning for numbers of Sevens.
The enthusiasm for displaying historic cars has been most encouraging, anyone wanting to know more or offer other machines please contact me; stevekaytwo@btinternet.com.
And to return to another previous forum discussion, anyone yet tracked down the OK 7095 replica?
