Curborough - 10am April 1st 2023

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Hi,

 

A few of us are heading to Curborough Saturday morning 10am for the breakfast meet.

 

Feel free to come along for a coffee 👍

A good meet as usual. A few pics from me:

Cracking little meet up!

 

We ended up with 10 of us... 6 Westfields, Lee in his lovely Capri, Gary in his 2ZZ engined MR2, Ben in the Caddy (as the MNR is due a spanner check after a recent Donington track day) and I'd got my 16yr old stepson riding shotgun for his first Curburgring visit (the lure of a bacon sandwich helped get him out of bed 😂).

 

We were scattered across the car park initially so took the opportunity to get a line up photo or two

 

 

 

Admiring Lee's stunning 2.0 Capri Laser.

 

 

Hedley press ganged an unsuspecting spectator into choosing the best looking Westfield, with Lee and Tom's British Racing Green Megablade being declared the winner (she was obviously colour blind as we all know that red is best 😉).

 

Having had a brew and sandwich we all headed for the paddock to admire the Austin 7 specials that were going out on track. 

 

Amazing to think that the Austin 7 will celebrate its 100 years this year as these cars were absolutely stunning! Some cars were actually getting up to some respectable speeds on track considering the tiny 700cc side valve, pre crossflow engines.

 

What a stunning little car!

 

This beauty had its first start up just 3 days ago since its rebuild. Stunning woodworking skills on display for the rear tub and a trick Ricardo cylinder head.

 

 

Look at those forward facing front leaf springs clamped to the chassis rails...

 

 

 

Isn't it amazing what people keep locked up in their garages?! Fantastic to see them being used and driven hard rather then just being museum pieces, bravo 👏 

 

Great to see everyone, hope you enjoyed the morning 👍
