Loving that yellow Reliant Scimitar. Much underrated cars those Coupés and it's a wonderful sight on track.

Thanks for that; at least I know there was a post '72 section. The Franco-Britannique Challenge sounds like a kind of team challenge for British v French cars (If it was for BOC members, I am still a member at Prescott). I must make some enquiries regarding the regs. Before I drove the racing car, I competed in the Midget. Here is one, taken in the Esses, on 30 April 1994 (I remember it because it was that fateful Imola weekend).

Was a great meet, and I'm pleased to say that even the cavalcade gave a great chance to hoon up the hill! Took my 2CV up on the Saturday, caught my mate demonstrating body-roll the following day in his Citroen Acadiane!

Did you take any more pictures of the cavalcade? I went up in the Matra on the Sunday, but haven't got any pictures of this momentous event

Sadly, I didn't get any of your blue Matra. It's worth sifting through the many pics of the day on Flickr. I found a shot of me in my 2CV!


Here's one of my tweaked shots from the weekend.
