Saturday 26th September 2009.
Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Surrey. KT13 OQN.
Brooklands, the Birthplace of British Motorsport, has room for over 300 Capris. This make's it an ideal place for such an event, easily accessible from junction 10 of the M25, taking the A3 towards London leaving at the first (Painshill) roundabout, then following the brown signs to Brooklands Museum.
Admission prices (2008).
Adults £8 Each.
Children £5 Each.
Family Ticket £20.
Note: No dogs allowed.
Disabled parking available.
The aim of the show is to celebrate 40 years of the Ford Capri.
The Paddock area in front of the Club House at Brooklands will be used to display Capris from the earliest Mk1 through to the final 280 Brooklands. One or two from each marque will be displayed in this prime spot along with the special variants, ie - Tickford, JPS, Turbo Technics, Broadspeed.......etc.
I will be looking for owner's who own that 'special' Capri who are willing to display their car in the Paddock area. More than one of each kind may be needed, so if you think your's is what I'm looking for, then send some pics and a brief discription to - kevin134@blueyonder.co.uk - Thank's.
The Paddock area can hold around 25/30 car's. The rest of the massive Brooklands site will be used for the Capri parking. Individuals and clubs are all invited.
Brooklands is also famous for it's Motoring Village with it's original tuning sheds where great record-breaking cars such as Malcolm Campbell's Blue Bird can be seen, along with vintage motorcycles.
If you want a break away from looking at Capris there is the Concorde Experience, yes, you can go on board the South East England's only Concorde accessible to the public (extra charge applies). If you've had enough of that there is the Wellington Hanger where you may meet the team that restored the Wellington Bomber recovered from Loch Ness, plus try the cockpit of a Harrier jump-jet for size.
The grounds of Brooklands will also be open to the general public on the day.
Autojumble & trade stands to be organised / confirmed.
So, a date for your '09 diary, I hope you agree.
Any enquiries please leave a message on the email address above.
Thanks,
Kevin.
Weather permitting on the day, a selection of around 25/30 Capris will be able to park on the banking of the old racing circuit for a static photo-shoot. A great photo opportunity!
At a recent Mustang meet I attended there they did the same, click onto the pics below for a bigger picture.
Check back here from time to time for any update's for the Capri event in 2009.
