The second attempt was the successful one and some people had already gone home after the first. A large gap formed towards the back of the parade on the second attempt too, so all those cars were discounted. There were 807 valid cars from the first video review. A subsequent review disqualified 7 more cars for illegally presented registration plates or failure to complete the course. A great effort overall though and big thanks to the organisers for making it all possible. We've easily beaten the record even on the "official" number, and the non-GWR number of cars on the runway was much higher.

Bruntingthorpe Event raised £17481 + Gift Aid for Breast Cancer Care.
Elvington Event raised £16750 + Gift Aid for the British Heart Foundation. Magnificent amounts which makes all the hard work worthwhile....this is why a 3rd VOLVO600 Event is in the CookBook ![]() |
