Invite: Classic Vehicle Day at The Shuttleworth Collection.

Post by timjsparrow »

SHUTTLEWORTH VINTAGE VEHICLE DAY Saturday 22nd May 2010

Dear MMOC Branches.

I have been asked on behalf of The Shuttleworth Collection, at Old Warden Areodrom in Befordshire, to invite you all to our Vintage Vehicle Day on Saturday 22nd May 2010.

This will be the first time that The Shuttleworth Collection has hosted a vehicle orientated day for a number of years and we would like to establish this as an annual event. It is planned to create a garden party atmosphere with all the participants parked on the display field, allowing people to view the visiting vehicles.

The Shuttleworth Collection was created by Mrs. Dorothy Shuttleworth in memory of her only son Ritchard who was tragically killed in 1940 in a flying accident. Before Ritchard took up flying, he collected vintage cars and raced cars. Ritchard acquired his first racing car in 1931 at the age of 21-an Austin 7 with a 7.8 litre supercharged engine (not residing in the collection, but it is still in exsitance, and the current owner did bring it to one of our flying days in 2009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/austin7nut ... 0/sizes/o/). He enterd this into the Junior Mountain Racing Handicap at Brooklands in the same year under the name of "R Ormonde". He finished third. Over the next 5 years Ritchard purchased and raced an Arrol Aster, a serise of Bugattis and an Alfa Romeo P3 (of which the Alfa still exsits and is raced during the summer months. Agian it does not reside in the collection, however the current owners did loan this £6 million car to the collection for a few months last year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Richard Shuttleworth's birth http://www.flickr.com/photos/shuttlewor ... 248038842/). The highest point of Ritchard's racing career was his victory on the 5th October 1935 at the International Donnington Grand Prix, whilst driving his Alfa Romeo P3. His racing career came to an end a few mounths later after a serious accident in the South African Grand Prix.

From the late 1920's and into the 1930's, Ritchard purchased various vintage cars such as the Panhard Levasseur, International Benz and the De-Deitrich to name a few which now form the basis of the collection of vehicles on display today. Every vehicle in the collection, along with the areoplanes, are (or are capable of being) in complete operational condition, and are driven on diplay at the various shows we have throughout the year. This all to uphold Ritchard Shuttleworth's original ethos of not just collecting motor vehicles and aeroplanes, but keeping them in working order as well.

I am sure that this will be of interest to members; We wish to encourage vehicles to pre-book in advance.
You can book in as a complete branch. All you have to do is send the registration numbers + type + year + addresses of the cars that are wanting to attend, plus the name and contact details of a branch representative to collection@shuttleworth.org by Friday 7th May. Passes will then be sent out to all attending branch members.
Alternatively, individual booking forms can be obtained from the website http://www.shuttleworth.org. Again, all forms have to be in by 7th May.

Drivers of pre-registered vehicles will enjoy free access to the event along with thier vehicle. Addmistion prices for additional adults will be £10 each, but accompanied children under 16 will be free, making this an excellent family day out.

In addition, entry to the event will include acces to the hangars to see the world famouse collection of aircraft, motor vehicles, bicycles and carriges.

The Shuttleworth Collection also often hosts vehicle owner and marques clubs throughout the year, on both flying and non-flying days, at favouable club rates. If you would like to discuss arranging a club event with us, please contact Julie White on 01767 627922 or Julie.white@shuttleworth.org

Hope to see many of you on the day.

Best Regards,

Tim Sparrow

I can recommend the Shuttleworth collection as a good day out.

How about making this the venue for a website rally?

You would be more than welcome. Just use the contact details for Julie White to arrange it. If you arrange it for a flying display, you get a reserved area right in front of the flight line. You have to have a minimum of ten cars though to get your own area to display in.

Julie Whites details are 01767 627922 or Julie.white@shuttleworth.org

Regards

Regarding the Vintage Vehicle Day.

If you need a coordinator for a specific branch, then it needs to be somebody from that branch.

However, if your interested in booking in the Web forum as a branch, then I don't mind being a coordinator for that. Being an insider and all.

For those on the web forum who are interested then, all you have to do is send the following details to timjsparrowATaoldotcom (edited by rogerrust to cut down on spam) and I can pass these on to the event organiser:

Name, Address, Telephone, Email

Vehicle Make

Vehicle Model & Type

Vehicle Year

Vehicle Registration

Once I have all the details, I can pass these on to Chris, he can then send out passes and list you as MMOC Web fourum branch.

Alternatively individual forms can be found at http://www.shuttleworth.org

CLOSING DATE 7th MAY

The more the merrier.

Best Wishes

Tim Sparrow (Shuttleworth Veteran Aeroplane Society)

Thanks for doing that. I was thinking that would be a good idea.

No problem at all. Seemed the most logical thing to do as I have a direct contact with Shuttleworth.

Oh dear, thats a shame :( . Maybe next year :) Have a nice time though.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Anyway, keep 'em comming ladies and gentlemen! The more the merrier.

Lots of interesting stuff on the cards so far. Amongst the list of entrants so far is at least one Sentinel Steam Lorry.
We shall also have as many of the Shuttleworth vehicles as will behave themselves on display as well. See http://www.shuttleworth.org/shuttlewort ... hicles.asp for the full list of what we've got.

Do forgive the lack of information on the vehicles in question, I shall mention this to our website editor.

I have just discovered that what it also doesn't show on the website is that we have an extensive collection of motorcycles, as well as the Shuttleworth families horse drawn carriages. However the latter don't come out very often if at all. Shame really as I like a nice carriage, but its hard to find a horse that's not spooked by rotating propellors and noisy engines on aeroplanes come show days.


So keep those entries coming. Remember its all your car's details plus contact telephone/email with a 1st class SAE to the address listed earlier in this thread, closing date 7th May.

Tim
