Title: Chipping Sodbury Classic Car Run 28th June
Post by: Facial Hair Optional on 01, June, 2015, 11:17:12 PM
Don't know much about this one, even though it's on my doorstep I have yet to go to it, just thought I'd let people know. Not sure what cars can enter. I may call them 2moro and ask.

Entry and info is on 01454 311 712 or email  rotary.classic.run@hotmail.co.uk

As I understand it, its only open to cars that are pre-1986. Not sure why they chose that year, maybe 30 years old. It is good to see them all lined up in the high street before they set off on the run.

You will find the year only applies to classic cars so you don't get 10 year old cars that are only just going out of production. We normally fit in the category of cars of interest so most kits are always welcome no matter what the age.

Just had a look on their website and downloaded the regs/entry form. It definitely says pre 1990 (don't know where i got the 1986 from - maybe a previous year's) and doesn't offer a "special interest" alternative. Its also a £27 entry fee. Might be worth checking by email if anyone is still interested and has a post 1990 car.

That would make any car there 25+ years in age then?

When does a car become a classic, isn't it 20 years?

And who decides that anyway??!!

OK Colin, though I have a feeling it's one of those kinda snobby classic car things maybe? Could be wrong. I may just do a noisy drive by in any case, my version of a classic car gate crash!!!  :P
