120 Amazon 50th Anniversary Events
I have arranged 2 events this year, the first is at Milestones Museum of transport in Basingstoke on the 6th of May. It 50 years since the Amazon went on sale and I am hoping to get as many Amazons as possible together.
I am arrangeing a cavalcade through Basingstoke on the Sunday morning, Steve Woodward has offered to bring the Hampshire Police 222s Ruddspeed to lead us through Basingstoke, I have not decided on a meeting point, but have 2 choices and will post the address here soon. Allthough this is a VOC event and as for all of the events this year I want to attract as many cars as possible and would welcome any Amazon owner to join us. But non members will have to pay their own entry to the museums if they want to go in! You also know that Volvo are holding a Marque day at The Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon near Coventry on 2nd September, I am again wanting to get as many Amazons there, with a challenge to get 50 cars to meet at the south bound Warwick Services to make a cavalcade to drive to the museum. This event is organised by Volvo Car UK Ltd, but I am organising the cavalcade! If I have enough response I am aiming to arrange that all the Amazons will park together. Finally I have arranged another event in the North at the National Coal Mine Musem, Nr. Wakefield, on 30th of September, again this is a VOC event but I extend the invitation to any Amazon owner to attend in this special year. Sorry to bang the drum a bit but I am totally crazy about the cars so get a bit excited about a lot of them together, my cars are all working examples ( I have 17!) and at best tidy so please don't think it's a concours get together. all the best Andy 120 Register Keeper |

Put me down for both the Basingstoke event and the Gaydon convoy. As we discussed at Ally Pally, the Amazons must be parked together at Gaydon unlike the last time. As it is our 50th we should be parked at the front as well!!

Andy, the Gaydon meet sounds great. Put me down provisionally for that one. Jon Burgess, Manchester, 121. I have to pass the MOT first though (d'oh).
However my Amazon is not what you'd call mint. I'd be happy to drive in a convoy so long as the nicer looking cars weren't paired with my tape n' rust special (possibly with torq thrusts by then). Is the HMM still open? I can find Gaydon okay (it's about a two hour drive from me), but pray please tell an ignorant Northener where Basingstoke is. I live in the South Manchester (Chorlton - woo?) Can just hear Alan Partridge 'Plan for meet at the Dog and Duck in Basingstoke. Must not repeat, must not turn into an all night rave.....'

120 Meets
Hi! thanks for your messages,
Basingstoke is in the South of England, in fact South of Reading, in between the M4 and M3, it would a long way from Manchester! I too will have a problem with the MOT as all of my cars are in need of welding to get them there, the first one will be my B16 122S running on LPG and then if I value my life I will have to fit new inner wings front wings and panel and rear wheel arches to Clare's estate, the candles is definitely going to be burnt at both ends!

Nick, there's another VOC rally in Sussex on 3rd June - it was originally a 140 series rally, but now open to all models.
I might not be able to make the Basingstoke rally (6th May) but aiming to be at the Sussex one.

120 Meet at Milestones Basingstoke 06/05/07
Ok sorry its taken a while to get back. The cavalcade will start from Alan Gibson the Volvo Dealership in Basingstoke, the address is Brunel Road, Houndsmill Industrial Estate, Basingstoke, RG21 6XQ.
The idea is to congregate there with a leaving time of between 10 & 10.30 am, the dealer is arranging for the press to attend so I hope we can have a good turn out, I intend to go around the ring road in clockwise direction and finish at milestones for 11.00 am, the start time for the meet, I will be at the dealers for 9.30 so see you there! If you have any questions then you can ring me on 01237 441446, closer to the time I will post my mobile number as I will be in Basingstoke the day before to set up. Thanks Andy |
