Default BOC Concours

Finally a BOC event I will actually be able to get to!
I can't wait for this, it's a great location for it too.
Looking forward to seeing my favourite make of car up close.

It's at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire August 17th.

Ragley; Memorable days out in Warwickshire gives general information about the location and admission, but I don't know if the Concours is closed to BOC members or if there is some kind of public element to it.
I believe the final info will be in the next BOC newsletter.

Just go dressed in tweed with a pipe and a handlebar moustache -- they will never know if you aren't a member ! :-))

I'm sure all will be welcome..

General details of the concours and the preceding dinner have been in the last couple of Newsletters, but the next Newsletter (August issue) won't be with members before the concours. Full details and entry forms were distributed by email a few weeks ago, if you haven't got them let me know and I'll send them on to you.

Well really enjoyed seeing all these great cars.
Sadly I was only able to stay for an hour or so due to work but managed to get some good pics taken.
Really good variety of cars I think even the better half enjoyed herself - if given the choice she would have taken one of the Farina bodied cars home!

One thing I liked was how many of the cars not entered in the Concours had the signs of daily use - things in the boot, bits and pieces in the cabin etc.
Real cars designed to be used daily on real roads.
Long may that continue.

I tried to follow the link, but it says it is private. Is there anything I need to do?

My idiocy was the problem

Do you have any more photos of the BOC Concour that you can post on the Forum or a link to them .
It is difficult for some of us to attend
