On Sunday 28 April, our region took part in Drive-It-Day. The day started with twenty five cars meeting up at North Weald Airfield. We had a good cooked breakfast at the The Wings Cafe, which set us up for the day. After a leisurely drive along the A414 we arrived at The Forties Experience Museum in Bushey. During […]
Doesn’t time fly? One minute we were catching an abundance of rays under the surprisingly hot summer’s heatwave at venues ranging from aircraft museums to RHS gardens whilst watching the sun dancing from our chromed gleaming treasures, and the next, we are heading to our annual bash on a much […]
Now recognised as the world’s biggest gathering of (around 300) classic motoring clubs, this year’s event witnessed over 71,000 visitors during the weekend 9 – 11 November 2018.

No, not the 90s Scottish band, but the state of the weather at The Warren Classic and Supercar Show on 23 September 2018. The omens were not good the day before, as we set out the pitch and erected the event shelter under a grey sky cloaked in ominous, brooding, […]

For those expecting their regular fix of classic and sports cars at The Hare in Roxwell on this the premier Saturday in May, there was a surprise in store. For this month only (so far), we would be tasting a full English at its sister pub, The Castle, in Great […]
My tale begins in September 2015 when the Essex Thameside group visited Brands Hatch to watch the JEC racing group compete in a day’s racing. We had a great day, finding ourselves quite literally a fingertip away from the cars, the pits and the drivers. Ideas started to bounce around […]
Aaron is a bright 14 year-old from a school near Albany in upstate New York, USA. He has a passion for Jaguar and contacted us about his after-school project. Here is what he has written about the history of the marque and its cars, from the earliest days to the present. Thank you to […]
Peter Davey’s Jaguar Mark 2 was featured in the September 2012 edition of Practical Classics magazine. Q Nice Jaguar, Peter. How much do you know about it? I’ve got all of the history from new. It was built in June 1961 and dispatched to Henlys London in July but not […]
I passed my driving test, first time, in 1955, driving a 1938 Morris 8 from the Romford School of Motoring – I had six lessons. The test was taken in Romford on market day so it was no picnic! My parents bought me my first car which was a 1934 Morris 10/4 with […]
