Blink and you would have missed it - Richard Wills' beautiful Ferrari 212 Vignale Coupe #0237, winner of the 1953 Coppa Inter Europa when driven by Franco Cornacchia. It appeared only briefly on Friday

Richard was at our B&B and was most unhappy over the charge for hospitality being levied (about which he had not been advised beforehand) - as he had made arrangements to meet up with someone on the Friday at the event instead of departing immediately he therefore waited (and ran) until that was completed and he then packed up and went home.

He was originally scheuled to drive his BMW 328. Sad that he decided to pull out as the meeting lost a great car.

The 328 was damaged at Prescott in an accident whilst on loan and could not be repaired in time - the 212 was a subsitute

The immaculate Smith Mk2 with new owner Richard de la Roche


Richard was at Loton Park this week-end and was driving the Smith-Buckler with great verve finishing second on Saturday behind Steve Lawrence's Cooper Mk 8 and winning the Sunday class (both restricted to the Up to 500cc - Historic Racing cars (I.E. 500cc F3 cars).

I'm impressed by the clever vertical modification on the nose. I've seen something similar on this year's McLaren.

Evidently there is going to be a reprise of the Pageant for the Car Clubs, who suffered something of a wash-out at the mud-fest. The date is the 14th of October; the judging did not take place as planned... presumably because everyone had packed up and slithered home, not to return on day two, so this will take place in October.
The cars will be allowed to drive along the track/estate roads and park on the polo field. Heck.

I think all the tickets went within minutes of the box-office opening.
