Summer shows

Post by Splat »

It’s been a busy few weeks for my Eleven. It’s only six weeks since I installed my rebuilt engine, and I’ve done over 1300 miles in her. Circa 500 of those miles were to, from and around Le Mans for this year’s Classic. But over 200 have been to and from Goodwood for the last two weekends.

I was very tickled that the car was selected for display at two consecutive Goodwood Breakfast Clubs. The first, in mid-July was the second-ever GRRC Member’s Breakfast Club. And, having already been accepted for display, I received an email a week beforehand inviting the car to be one of a dozen displayed outside the Jackie Stewart pavilion, as part of the “GRRC Showcase”, both to promote club membership (for a club with a waiting list of almost a decade :o ) and to demonstrate the diversity of member’s vehicles.

Other vehicles among the dozen were the supercharged Scirocco next door to me, a Lancia Zagato Hyena, a 1957 2CV (still with the original protective plastic covering its door cards!), Ferrari F50, 1912 Curtis aero-engined racing car, the McMurtry Spèirling (driven to the new hillclimb record at this year’s Festival of Speed bu Max Chilton) and Max’s own Aston Martin DB4 Volante.

(As ever, clicking on what are simply oversized thumbnails opens these photos in a new window at a decent resolution!)

The following weekend was the Classic Car Sunday Breakfast Club. Unlike the previous weekend’s GRRC Member’s bash, this was open to the general public so was considerably busier. My Eleven was selected for Site Access which, depending on what time you arrive, means display either in the paddocks or on the circuit at either end of the start/finish straight (grid parking being by special invite).

The Eleven certainly attracts plenty of interest!!!

From the 3th photo it appears James May was interested in your car too.
