356 Sunday October 1
356 Sunday October 1
At the Shuttleworth Collection , see Events subforum . Expecting about 20 cars to turn out , barely about 10% of the UK population based on pre-booking . I guess fine weather might produce a few more but not going to bet money on it , this is likely to be the last organised 356 event of the year , so if you have got one why not give it a chance to meet some fellow prisoners .

Rob , there must be more than 200 , have only counted the ones known to PCGB register, maybe someone else has a better number . I never see a lot gathered together in one place in UK or many on my 356 travels.

Re: 356 Sunday October 1
I’ve paid for two tickets and am taking my 356Cbut have not heard from the club and don’t have tickets.
Is there something I should do to sort this?

Hooray - all we need now is good ( ie dry ) weather to keep the tinworm quiet . My car came from Australia and not used to Northern European climate......Ashley James wrote:They’ve arrived!

Mine from Florida!
Re: 356 Sunday October 1
Me and sjm73 went to this too although not in a porsche . Nice laid back, if somewhat quiet event . Some stunning old vehicles and a Good turnout of 356’s.
We lasted most of the day, but obviously due the the slow nature of the event a lot headed off early

Re: 356 Sunday October 1
Well done James , good photos ! You could still have turned up in a Porsche even if not a 356 , they were made to be driven !
The anticipated number did turn up in spite of the miserable weather in the morning . I encountered one other 356 , an SC cabriolet , on the way up from London , the lady driver was going faster than me on the wet A1 , 70ish rather than 60ish ....
I did not spend much time with the 356s , there were 2 rows of them eventually , so I missed meeting up with Ashley.
Did get a very short video of one of the Morgan 3 wheelers bursting into life , 7 cylinder aero engine with stub exhausts , plenty of emissions !

I don’t think I’ve seen one of these fly before.
