Bath Pageant of Motoring - Light on Porsche Content

Post by Mitch »

Prompted by a post by gojackflash in 914 section, thought I'd put something here...

http://www.bathpageantofmotoring.com/

I've not been to this before but hear it's well organised and an eclectic mix of classic cars & bikes.

Registration closed yesterday for "exhibiting" your car but I bet they'll be keen to get lots of early Porsche on site, so worth getting in touch if you want to be there. Only £5 entry for exhibiting car & occupants, against normal ticket of £10 each for adults.

Weather forecast for this w/e is great so could be a nice family day out :sunny:

Despite the word Pageant in the name, it was a good event. OK so it wasn't Goodwood.. more like a car & bike themed Village Fete. But it was well organised and a nice scale with enough interesting cars and a good atmosphere. The weather helped bring people out and given that the proceeds go to Charity, deserved the support.

I spent the day giving rides (but not half as many as the very loud Lamborghini Murcielago :wink: ) so didn't take too many pics but here's few.... but only a couple of early Porsche :(

Good to meet DDKer gojackflash and his Silver 914. I think we could get a pretty good showing of local DDK 356, 914 & early 911's, something for next year?

A very nice Roger Bray restored 356 SC. Had a chat with the owner and he may well find his way back here.. lovely car.

Yep, showing proper respect!

Hot n Sunny, quick blasts around a short twisty route... had to be the Caterham!
