Oulton Park 'Ultimate' Classic car show

12 Jul 2012, 9:37am
For anyone within reach of Oulton Park this weekend, Sammio will be present on an outdoor pitch with the first public outing of Vanessa (And hopefully one more Spyder)
It would be great to see you there. I can't promise coffees but plenty of chat :biggrin:

Got builders here all weekend but as it's only down the road for me will try and get over there on Sunday :)

Bit too far for me I'm afraid, almost a 400 mile round trip :(

No problems at all Craig, i look forward to seeing you soon when we bring your Cordite over :biggrin:

The show was pretty amazing. Apart from setting up in the pouring rain on Friday, the weather held well and there was lots of interest on the stand. Many thanks go out to Gaz Davies for bringing his Spyder along too. For many of the Classic buffs it's their first introduction to the Sammio marque and it appeared to go down well with all ages. even the Triumph club accepted that it brought an otherwise scrapped Herald/Vitesse back from the grave into a fine looking car. (Though we stopped short of slipping a flyer under the wipers of suitable donor candidates...)

Some photos of the event follow. More will come as appropriate:
Before the crowds:


Vanessa isn't quite finished but gave a good account of herself:


Busy, Busy:


Looks like the next show will be at Chester on the 29th July. Maybe better weather so I hope to see any of you there?

Looks like you picked a prime spot there Andy, right on the entrace road next to the rally stage by the looks of it? :thumb:
