It's also advertised on the Saab forum - and I believe there's a Facebook group, Swede Sport UK?

I'll be on my way up to Heathrow that afternoon so may stop by.
Just spell check on phone, swede sport is my facebook group, I've got lots already organised / in the planning for next year.

2 ace cafe march / may
Incarnation (Brighton) April
Trip to Gothenburg (maybe trollhattan Saab museum as well)
Beaulieu event September
Most likely a Brooklands / merc world (looking forward to off road taster)
A couple of track days and Bruntingthrope volvomax.

Plus whatever else I can arrange

Be good to see you, I've done the group ticket buy but you should be able to buy at discount on the door, by proving your a swede sport uk member (but any forum will probably suffice, I doubt they'll be that pedantic)

Tickets can be bought on the day at ticket office, maybe discounted if you mention SwedeSportUK

I was there on a "behind the scenes tour" that day, with some Morgan pals. Spoke to a couple of Saab owners before I went in.
It's a great museum and the tour I took is well worth it!
