The annual VSCC meeting at Mallory Park and a chance to see Edwardian racing cars, racing. Fantastic! I am always impressed by how these leviathans are kept in competitive running order. The 1907 Grand Prix Delage was quick by any standards topping the ton on the Stebbe Straight and lapping in 1 minute 12 seconds. The pits displayed a good selection of quality corduroy trousers too, as old chaps fettled old engines on a sunny August afternoon. The low mileage Renault 4 was for sale. We thought £3500 was a tad optimistic, but it was lovely. ‘Mick’ on 07711 218917 if you’re interested. I resisted, which felt odd.

Oh the Renault 4. Don't tell Ron, he'll be over with a fistful of used lire for that one. Come on Ron, tell us about the one you didn't buy out on the fens.
What a super set of 'snaps'! I just love the happy look on the kid's face in the lowest one. It must be great to be playing in your Dad's Delage when other kids are off doing drugs!!!
