The highlight of the Members’ calendar, this annual and exclusive Members-only event is an exciting opportunity to meet specialists from our Collections Teams and socialise with other Members while taking in the sights, sounds and smells of a superb range of cars as we fire up their engines and give Members the opportunity to take a ride!
We have chosen some incredible cars in the past that give Members that 'once in a lifetime' experience. There's the fast collections cars such as the 1983 MG Metro 6R4 prototype and the 1964 Morris Mini Cooper S (AJB) which is one of three Minis in the collection to triumph at the Monte Carlo Rally. We also brought out the 1993 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton previously, which was dubbed the fastest four-seater saloon car in the world!
But it's not all about speed and performance, we have given Members the amazing opportunity to ride in the 1948 Land Rover number one, also known as 'Huey' due to the number plate HUE 166. We've had the elegant 1904 Vauxhall 6hp veteran car to give Members a taste of the very early days of the car and then there is the 1955 Gas Turbine Mule which was so loud, it required Members to wear ear plugs while inside. We've always got another exciting selection lined up for our Members to show our appreciation for their support.
