Race Retro 2015

Post by Pete »

Anyone else going? There's a BMC Comps celebration, (shame about which car they've used to publicise that though! :roll: :lol: ) There's also a Chevron feature, and the rally stage as usual ,hope there's some new cars on that but I suspect it'll be a lot of familiar stuff. Llwellin was very entertaining on that last time I went though!

A feast of cars on the auction, especially for Ford and Porsche fans...

As fairly usual for Stoneleigh, very little information about what exactly is planned, especially BMC Comps. I might have been persuaded to go otherwise.

The BMC Comps display is, I believe, to be a Works Healey 3000, a Works Mini and a Works TR7. Really not sure what Mini will be there though, Bill Price is in charge of the display and I've suggested some cars he could use but it's up to him and the availability of the car and owner.

Unfortunately the Works Mini at RaceRetro will be 569FMO - not one of the best by a long way but this was all that Bill Price could find that was available at short notice for the display.
Might well give the show a rest this year.

Thanks for the update Robert. It may be a delicate question ( that may not get an answer ), but what's not good about the car registered 569 FMO ?
I personally know nothing about this car and am genuinely interested.

Dave
