Guests

Jeffry Sol - Audi Sports Quattro Monster!

There is something in the water in Europe, it seems to be concentrated in Scandinavian countries but some of it must be leaking into the Netherlands. The thing is those in the North seem to like big power, anything less than 600bhp seems to be small fry. What we have here is an Audi Sports Quattro recreation with over 800bhp. Let me run that by you again, just in case you missed it first time. Jeffry Sol has built an 800bhp Audi sports quattro beast, and he'll be coming to the Retro Rides Gathering to take it up our hill. Don't miss this! As Doctor Who once advised, Don't Blink!! ... More photos and videos can be found on Jeffry's website. Make sure you are at the show to check this out!

Michael Flynn - KAMEI Mk1 Golf Race Car Recreation

One of the most iconic Golf racers ever created the KAMEI Golf was campaigned in the lat 70's and always looked great on the track. The design on the car has inspired Tamiya model kits as well as slot cars. Michael has done some massively detailed research into the car, unearthing along the way never before shared pictures of the car from those that original built and raced it. His labour of love has resulted in this brilliant recreation.

John Beardmore - Hillclimb Morris Minor

It has been a while since we've been able to welcome John and his car along to a Retro Rides event, but we've pinned him down this year and his is bringing his fabulous Moris Minor hillclimb car out to show us just how to do it at Prescott. One of the most legendary UK modified car builders John has provided the whole community with a lot of insipration over the years and his race car is no exception.


More guests will be announced soon...

Club Space

As ever Retro Rides Gathering welcomes car clubs from all makes and styles. Our club space in the Orchard at Prescott is one of the nicest places to be on the car show calendar, with suitable amounts of space given to club stands, you can still see whats going on track side, everything is close by. Booking space is easy, simply email gathering@retro-rides.org with the club name, number of cars and an address to send the passes to. The passes get your cars into the Orchard and directed to the correct stand space, then your members just need to sort out their entry tickets. If you have a club that the majority of which is likely to spend most of the day on the track we can offer you club space in the paddock, so tell us if this is the case.
