The Prescott Weekend organised by the Pre-War Morris people under the superb guidance of Ian Grace, who largely manages it all from Seattle, includes the Cotswold Rally. This year, the Sunday weather was splendid and numbers of cars set off to find their way along the narrow lanes and through the magnificent villages. The Rally is open to all makes of pre-war cars, which this year appeared to include Morris Minors, Cowleys, MGs and Singers as well as Sir Herbert's babies. As well as an award for the best navigation, there is the Lewis & Nicholson Prize fought for by Morris and Austin teams, which in previous years has been won by...errr..well so far the Austins.
This year the highest score earning the HVA statue was achieved in the Chummy of "Team Tinka," Matt and Ben Boroliecki and Judith Durkin, in her first event but of whom we will see much more. The team prize, the Lewis and Nicholson Compass, was once more won by the mighty team of Austins, three Chummys and a Ruby. The extend of the victory was almost embarrassing, well not quite as the smart Longbridge team achieved usual high scores but for some reason the Scuderia Morris largely gave up, finally only one of them handing in their results card.
Perhaps next year Ian will give the Austins a penalty at the start, but never mind, victory should be ours again!
