Leeds castle Motors by the Moat. 11th & 12th May
 

Are there any fellow P1800 owners (or other vintage volvos owners come to that) who fancy making up the numbers and going to the motors by the Moat at Leeds Castle in Kent. I went a few times previously with my Datsun 240z with the Nissan club and spotted a number of P1800 on their lonesomes.
I am going btw. I have always found it a nice event. Exhibiting a vehicle at Motors by the Moat costs £10 per car per day and includes entry for up to four guests to the event, Castle and grounds. You can chose to attend on either or both days of the event.
Apologies if this is already covered somewhere else on the forum I did search around on it and could find no reference.

Wow tough crowd.

AM I POSTING ON THE RIGHT PAGE OR DOES NO ONE FOLLOW THIS FORUM.

From past experience I've found that most people leave booking trips out until the actual day, as perhaps either they only get their classic out if not wet, or their work allows that particular day off. That doesn't prevent showing interest to the organisers though.
Mind you, seeing as you are only at Biggin Hill, why is it that you've never ever taken your Volvo to the Volvo gathering at Bentley Wildfowl/car museum only 20 or so miles south of you? I know because I take my 144 or 164 there every year (it has run for over 20 years now) and am linked to the organising of that event. Yes it is run by the Sussex VOC section, but as Derek of the Kent section always expounds, it was currently the nearest Volvo rally to us living south of London. Similarly the Sussex section always manage the Volvo stand at Wiston in West Sussex, and again only one P1800 has ever attended there: I do, rain or shine.
I say 'currently' re Bentley but as you can see in the latest "Driver" mag, it will be changing its venue this year due the Bentley management changing. You ARE of course a club member aren't you? See, that's what you miss by not belonging.

Hi yes I am a VOC member I've only had the Volvo p1800 for about a year I must say with previous classic cars I have owned The owner's club were always organizing events together and regular contributors to the forum. The 240z bunch in particular.
That said I will look at the Bentley event and any that you can suggest that are near me.
just to say that I will be attending the motors on the Moat at anyone who reads this is welcome to join me with there own Volvo.
Nuff said.
