Ok, I'll get to Peartree services just down the road from North Oxford BMW by 08:45 to leave by 09:00 arriving at JLR by 10ish. If anyone wants to follow it's a simple route A44 to A429 or turn off on the B road halfway.

That was a super interesting visit! Loads of stuff to look at, old, very old, new and lots of fascinating prototypes. Cars cut down the middle, engines opened up, historic cars, famous cars, XJ13 showing how beautiful a car can be. I could gladly spend a day there and I'm going back. Also had a damn good drive from Pear Tree services.
Well done!!

Likewise, a great way to spend the morning. Your 720 is the yellowist thing I have ever seen

And my wife and I laughed at your car setting off a car alarm as you drove past!

Well, what a thoroughly enjoyable visit. Somehow we managed to spend the whole day there and it is so much nicer without the wife and kids wanting to hurry up!

Many thanks for organising us Reg, I'd never have got round to going otherwise.

The car of the day for me? (apart from ours of course

) the MG SA - stunning example.

Hi Chris, I am so glad everyone enjoyed it. I watched grown men discover cars from their childhood and the enthusiasm was totally infectious. The site is such a jewel, and it's a must see for anyone remotely interested in cars. In the Jaguar Heritage Museum they had the first and the last e-type's ever made, which is about as cool as it gets in my book. Despite many visits with my Jaguar friends I always find something new to look at..did you see the 'Longbridge Mini'...just epic
