Curborough - Saturday 16th July 2022

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Hi all!

 

A handful of us are planning to go to Curborough (Netherstowe Ln, Lichfield WS13 8EJ) tomorrow morning for their Breakfast Meet.

 

No run out planned, just a meet up for a chat, a brew and look at a few cars 👍

 

We're planning to land between 10 and 1030.

 

For those that haven't been before, it's free entry. They also do a reasonably priced, (no frills) bacon or sausage sandwich if you want to ruin your power to weight ratio for the drive home 😂

What a beautiful morning to look at some cars and chat with friends!

 

Unusual for me, I landed first with @Tim Coles and @Ian Podmore (great to meet you by the way Ian!) arriving in formation shortly after and then @jumbojack (with son Jack unusually up before noon! 😂) in the MEV.

 

What a great line up!

 

On top of the classic cars we always see at Curborough, it was the Marcos Club meet so we were surrounded by interesting examples of Mantula's, Mantara's etc. They were all doing a few laps of the track, very similar to our own Curborough days, just a bit more sedate and with more spectators.

 

What really grabbed our attention was a beautiful Lotus Carlton who actually took to the track for a fairly spirited lap or two! Lovely to see a car like that being enjoyed as it should be 👏👏👏

 

Tim got chatting to the owner of a stunning Healey 100 and discovered it was actually a kit car. It's a really accurate recreation on Ford running gear that definitely had me fooled... parked next to one for us 70's children, a mint Capri 2.8 injection 😍

 

Tim dashed off to check the reg of the next car to make sure it wasn't his old car brought back to life as a ringer 😂

 

A fab little impromptu meet, and my first as an official AO! Hope you enjoyed it and all got home safely, see you next time 👍

 

A few more pics for all you fellow car lovers!
