With the 100th coming up are there any special runs planned? Circumnavigate the country perhaps, people can do the whole thing of just join for the section that passes through their area. A couple of us are discussing the possibility of doing something similar in NZ.

I did the run up to the SA7C Doune Rally, twice many years ago.
Firstly in a Nippy. Broke the crank half way up. Towed to Doune. Fresh crank and rods procured by the Scottish lads. Engine rebuilt over the weekend and drove back down on the Monday.
Second time in my fabric saloon. Dynamo packed up near Newcastle on way back but battery able to give sufficient sparks to get home.
650 mile round trip each time but was exhausted...possibly due more to the hospitality and dancing over the w/e than the driving!!

Ian,

Not wanting to gatecrash your idea but bringing a 7 across the pond would be a lot of fun with those lovely roads you have and I'm sure we could fit 4 cars to a container if they are tourers with double stacking.

Anyway keep the ideas coming we have a little time yet.

Cheers, Mark

I think the late Peter Blackburn did well on the JOGLE in I think 1972, completed single handed in his RN saloon in under 24 hours, it was reported that he had to be lifted out of his car.

The late Pete Blackburn qualifies. I was there when he arrived, having arrived first, 2 hours before. Glimmering headlights appeared in the cold and dark as he drew to a halt, alone in his box saloon. A faint voice cried "Help me out!"

I bought the 1937 Austin Seven Ruby BNG 51 from Ray Walker around 1965 for £28 (I think) and sold it a few years later to a German guy for £70? who was thrilled that he would be the only one in his (German?) village to own one! I Googled the registration and found Ray's Perowne St, Cambridge yard photo on your website with my car before I owned it!
