| We've attended this for the last four years or so. Ragley Hall
itself is an impressive stately home near Alcester, Warwickshire.
It has some excellent gardens and a large estate. Each year there's
a Classic Car and Transport festival organized by Transtar Promotions,
which attracts a large number of car enthusiasts of all makes, both as
exhibitors and as spectators. Each year, we've had an excellent large
W&NO display, and 1999 was no exception, with many of the region members
cars including XJ6s, XJSs and an XK120, and several guests from other regions
including a couple of Mark IIs and a couple of E types.
We've won the "Best display" every year we've attended so far; this
year was no exception; thankfully John stayed behind to collect the trophy.
The weather was dull and cold, and spoilt what in the past has been
a most enjoyable day out. |
