Think we'll have a go at doing this one and go to the fairmile on the saturday.

For those that don't know, West Clandon is the village Taz & I live in, in Surrey & Clandon Park is the country estate we live on, (a National Trust owned mansion in privately owned grounds).
We could push Taz's Dodge Charger to that one!  :D

Hmm. Apparently the National Trust know nothing about this event, so it's not on their property.
Taz's boss is Lord Onslow, who owns the rest of the estate. He doesn't know anything about it either. His father, who died a few weeks ago, may have given permission for an event, but there's no record of it anywhere.
If it goes ahead, maybe we should paint Taz's Charger burgundy, (the Onlsow family colour), put their crest on the doors & call it Dukes of Onslow?

monkey,s of onslow =======more like it   ;D ;D

I see it's in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support so I guess the old Lord might have given them the ok?

Sounds plausible doesn't it Bobbi.
I'll let you know if I hear any news.

its a long run out for us ,,,,but i would like to have a ride down if things and funds allow  :)

Jeez, 250 miles plus, each way. That's a hell of an afternoon out Mike!

 yep == petrol ++++  jaffa cake,s  lol

but it,s a couple of mile,s closer than basingstoke,,,lol, +

i,ve got something that may need bringing south------ if airborne custom paints (clive) wants to have a go at it ,,

Yup!!!! And I'll even pay for your fuel!!!! :)

Taz has just walked in the door & is on her mobile, talking about this show. As far as I can make out by eves dropping, they've found some emails between the old Lord Onslow & the MacMillan Trust, agreeing they can hold a car show on the estate. Unfortunately nobody else, including the new Lord knew anything about it, so they've got less than a month to get things organised. Should be interesting!

If thew funds allow we`d love to come down to see you at this one. ;D ;D ;D ;D

No idea how well attended it'll be -there's been minimal advertising so far cos no-one knew it was on!
Turns out it'll be held in the field literally at the bottom of our garden.
Be good to see you Cabby.  ;)
Taz mentioned putting his Lordship's crest on the doors of her Charger & taking it along to Lord Onslow -he liked the idea!
Profits for this particular show are all going to the MacMillan Trust, but if it goes well it could be a nice money earner for the estate.

As far as I am aware there are 150 cars coming for sure but they are hopeing it will be more like 200. There will be a one way system in place on the estate and it will be done so as not to get in the way of the main big house which is run by the national trust so if you come please follow signs. I will also be informing my clients that this way will be out of bounds unless going one way with every one else. It will be well sign posted and the entrance is on the A247 which is the only road that runs down through West Clandon.
 

was gonna go then i was told its the same day as uxbridge. shame that as i would of gone.

Just got my pre entry, for this event, in the post today   ;D

We still know nothing about the show -is it just classics or customs etc as well?
It's being run entirely by the MacMillan Trust. The Clandon estate's merely providing a field to hold it in, so nothing to do with Taz or me.
However, with a new Lord in charge now, all means of raising extra revenue for the estate are being looked at. They'll be watching this event with interest. If it goes well, the estate may well hold it's own version next year.

Over 250 cars pre-booked for this event so far.

Wonder if anyones knows if its just classic cars, or are bikes included?

Phone the number in my first post, they should be able to tell you.   ;D

I've emailed them to ask as I know them and suggested that if bikes haven't been thought of then maybe they should  ;D

i asked andy about this ages ago, but we were due to go to uxbridge.

Taz will probably be working that day & ideally I'd be 40 miles away, working on my truck, but it'd be bad manners not to take a look I guess.
£7 per person entry, or free if you're showing a car, (driver only), but you need to book your car in in advance -no show entries on the day.
Any forum members who are going are very welcome to call in. PM me for mobile numbers as we probably won't be at the cottage. You could take a look at Taz's Charger & our 2 trike projects too.
By pure chance, (& very bad planning), there's also a display of military vehicles outside the National Trust house on the estate that day.

Well,we made to Mankys back garden on sunday, rain and shine and took a few photos................

Nice little original Lotus 7 and Cortina

SSR turned up

'32 coupe

Rover powered Pop

a couple of Lancias and a real Fiat 500

A '23 turtle deck "T" and a Mustange coupe

An AC Aceta, A wolseley and its mascot

A gagle of moody GT40s, Nash Metropolitan (for sale) and some weather!!!

Thanks for those. I was stuck at work only 2 mins drive away and couldn't get down there  :'(

Although we really hoped the show would go well, we were both elsewhere that day. So thanks for the pics PH. Like so many events this Summer, the vagaries of the British weather took their toll. It was to raise money for cancer research, an illness which only recently claimed Lord Onslow, the estate's owner. So I hope it went O.K.
The estate's looking for ways to bring in much needed fresh revenue & are talking of holding their own car show next year. If they do, you can bet Taz & I will be roped in to help out. See you there!

Taz had an email from the MacMillan Trust. Apparently the show raised nearly £7000, all of which went straight to MacMillan. That's fantastic news.
They also mention they've been following this thread with interest!  :o

Good news on both counts.
