Cambridge & District Classic Car Club
Club Plays Starring Role In ‘ Village Day ’
Cars from the Cambridge and District Classic Car Club were the stars of the show at the recent Village Day at Sutton in Cambridgeshire . Each year , the small Fenland village holds its ‘ Feast Week ’ which is rounded off by the Village Day , where the High Street is closed to traffic and turned into a ‘ street party ’ complete with classic car displays . The day started off at 9.30am with a ‘ Best of British ’ parade , where a number of British-built classics followed a route around the village before arriving in the small square outside the local shop . About 30 cars took part in the event , including a Triumph TR4 , Morris Traveller , MGB , Austin Seven and even a 1927 Alvis . As well as the classic cars , the event also had a flypast from the Battle of Britain Flight ’ s Avro Lancaster bomber . www . cdccc . org . uk

SROC Plans For Return Of National Rally
The Sunbeam Rapier Owners ’ Club has announced that it plans to stage its first National Rally since 2008 . The event is scheduled to take place on August 16-17 , at Bodicote , near Banbury , Oxon . The rally is likely to include all the usual attractions , but one of the highlights will be a visit to the nearby Association of Rootes Car Clubs archive . The club says that the event will also include tours of the local area and the weekend will be rounded off in style with a showground display . there will also be a special display marking the 50th anniversary of the Series IV Rapier in 1963 . The club shelved the National Rally idea for a few years so it could concentrate on what it called ‘ elevated local rallies .’ The idea of these smaller regional events was to make it easier for members to attend , but it seems that you just can ’ t keep a good national rally down !
