403 at Angouleme
Yes - it was my 403. By coincidence, there was also a 401 there in EXACTLY the same colour. Owned by Richard Bull, who I have never met before. We had a wonderful time. As often happens, the cars cruising around the town, the dedicated classic car parks in the centre of town, the concours show at night with the cars driven up a ramp for all to see under floodlights, the 400 cars in the rally around the countryside, the paddocks with access to all etc. proved to be as entertaining as the actual racing. We arrived in the pelting rain on the night before the practice day ( Friday ) with our hearts in our boots. Saturday and Sunday gave us cloudless skies and shirts - off weather. What a weekend ! I recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there.
