Aston Martin Visit
Everyone who went to the Aston martin day had a fabulous time. Whether it was looking at how the cars had evolved over time or simply getting a chance to see the new DB11, there was something for everyone. Sometimes it was easy to see how Aston martin has struggled to make money over the…
Austin Healey 100M (BN2) 1955 – TAC 620
The striking Austin Healey 100M, ‘TAC 620’ will always stand out in a crowd and certainly did so at Beaulieu’s Simply Classics event in 2015 where she won the Peoples Choice ‘Car of the Day’ Award. Built on 12th October 1955 specifically for the motor show launch of the 100m variant, TAC 620 was the…

Murray Walker’s talk ‘Murray on Monaco’ was a complete sell out, with 200 people packed into the National Motor Museum Trust’s Theatre.

The early evening gathering in the stunning Domus building was the perfect start, with its majestic walk-in fireplace, open bar, seasonal fayre and beautiful tapestries I felt quite the lord…

London to Brighton Veteran Car Run
‘It’s 5 am’ says the operator – ‘It’s your early morning call, Madam’. 5 am?! On a Sunday?! But I’m taking part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run and it was my idea, so there’s no one else to blame. Breakfast is at 6, we have to leave the hotel at 6.45 and…
