Saw this advertised in Autosport this week.
http://www.chelseaautolegends.com/
Several pics of a 917 in the advert and seems to say they will have one on show there too, plus they have a tribute to Steve McQueen too. Think I will pop down, not sure if anyone else has any more info on what cars are on show. Only a few listed on the site so far

What better place could there be to hold such an event!
In more ways than one....Definitely worth a visit.

I rather like Sir Stirling's way of keeping the weight off his injured ankles!
I wonder if Sir Stirling gets his robust supports on the NHS ?

It was either that, or trundle on down to Brands Hatch for the DTM. But the prospect of watching them whizzing round the Indy Circuit.
Easy choice!

I thought that as an inaugural event, it didn't do anything fundamentally wrong, and enjoyed gawping at the line-up of cars on offer. At £12 it was priced accordingly as I felt I saw it all within three hours - I didn't have the desire to make a day of it really. Had the admission price been higher I would have been slightly miffed.
But other than that, an enjoyable wander and I watch with interest to see what the organisers have planned for 2011.

Probably the best show I have been to............and personalities thick on the ground ( all unpublicised). Great speakers interviewed well by Simon Taylor.
The crowds will be out in force next yesr ( Sept 4th BTW) and spoil it.
This for starters...........3 real GT40s and 3 real 917s..................
I am going to upload a stack of photos on to a Lotus Forum so I will link across todat work permitting.

Seems I stood next to Gregor Marshal.

When was that John - was that you I was talking to with Ian Cook?
I thought it was a very well organised event, more people and cars then I thought there would be (and the organisers too apparently!!) and I am looking forward to next year, not sure if I'll drive again but probably cheaper than the train, plus FOC parking and no Congestion Charge.
I think some of the stall-holders weren't too happy about charges etc, but then I'm sure you get at all shows.
I took a few pictures which I'll post later.

Most farcical bit of the day - all the Supercar Cavalcade attendees were parked in the main driveway down the middle of the grounds, not much room to walk down there, tabbarded officials keeping people off the grass. Then when the area became (unsurprisingly) full of people gawping all the owners got upset about them being near their precious cars and everyone was moved away to a distance great enough to be unable to tell one car from another. Might as well have parked them on the other side of the river.
A couple of nice rarities there - how about an Iso Rivolta and a Maserati Kyalami? Then there was the Pink Panther car...

I've seen enough E-types at Race Retro, Silverstone Classic etc. this year to last me a life time!
