Silverstone Race Day

8-9 August 2009

Although not a Western Region event, WR members who did not make the trip to Silverstone for the 60th Anniversary Meeting may be interested to see a little of what they missed.

Anthony & Britta Reed arrive and park alongside Mike & Cathy Warner's 3-litre
An enormous line-up for the Parade.

A very elegant 6½ ...

... complete with a very elegant mascot.

Excuse my immodesty for including yet another pic of my Continental-R

You either like this colour or you don't: I think it sets this 3-position body off nicely. It certainly makes a strong statement.
A very nicely original 3-litre tourer.

Gibbs Bentley Special on the track	"Bentley Spotting" has a U-Tube clip of this car.

	This link takes you to a 12-second video clip on YouTube, where I have now moved it (Oct 2010), as I do not have unlimited capacity on my own site. I have also lashed up a 21 minute DVD from the two days in case anyone is interested. This is a 12 second clip on You Tube.
