Hi all,

I thought as we have only about 3 months to go I'd highlight a few bits about the event to try and encourage a few other to join in with the other 5 Lagonda's we have attending.

With the season rapidly approaching when we all like to get out our cars to enjoy a few trips and events such as the Burghley House Aston Martin Event which takes places on Sunday the 3rd of July at Burghley House near Stamford PE9 3JY.

At this stage of planning for this exciting Event I thought I would update you with a few points of interest in case you might like to share the day with the many others already registered to attend.

Currently 393 Aston Martins have registered to attend this Event ranging from the earliest a 1930 International,the International will be accompanied with cars from across the time line ending in the very latest from the Gaydon production line by way of the Vulcan.

Other notable cars registered to attend are headed by David Eyles' magnificent DB4 Zagato GT "2 VEV" which is adorned with history and pedigree,other interesting cars include several Le Mans models of the 1930's.

Several of new GT12's which are relatively new to the time line have registered to attend and of course no field would be complete without the One 77.

You can see the diversity of cars already here on the AMOC Forum under this thread,a topic that tells plenty about the Event as well as the cars attending.

The wonderful setting that Burghley House provides is a fitting location and has plenty of interest in itself but add to this the support of 25 plus Aston related companies who have agreed to attend along with AM themselves able led by AP himself so there is the makings of a fine day I'm sure you will agree.

In addition to a very interesting field, further attractions will be on display whether it be a Motorsport related item or something more exotic there will be plenty to see with additional interest for everyone and I'm sure the fly past that has been confirmed for the afternoon will be enjoyed by all.

The flypast will be by the Battle of Britain Memorial flight and will consist of the Lancaster,Hurricane and the Spitfire,the fly past weather and mechanicals permitting will take place during our Raffle and Charity Auction circa 2 to 3pm.

The Raffle has had plenty of great donations already so be assured there's something for everybody and I've taken special care to collect plenty of items for the ladies and not just lot after lot of Aston related items which indeed there are many.

The Raffle will also include the Charity Auction which should be interesting as it contains some outstanding items, adventures, several thrilling experiences for the brave and thats all before we get to the Annual Services,Factory tours and other items which also include limited edition Motor Sport prints kindly donated by Tim Layzell and original pieces of artwork by Andrew Hill and Paul Whitehouse who will both be in attendance for the day.

Also included is a professional detail by Emerald Detailing and a Paintshield paint protection kit that Paintshield will install for the luckiest bidder.

The STAR lot donated so far is a 3 night break to New York staying in the Four Seasons Hotel which is one of NYC's finest Hotels,the trip also includes a room upgrade to a Premium King and comes on a bed and breakfast basis,Virgin Atlantic will fly you both ways in their Premium Economy cabin for this mini break valued at 5k.

If NYC is not your thing you might prefer to bid to have a professional photo shoot of your pride and joy anyway I won't give all the secrets away but I can confirm that all our members just might want to be involved on July the 3rd for this friendly and extraordinary gathering that celebrates the Marque whilst helping a few UK Charities along the way.

Don't like flying but enjoy a good break, well thats covered as well with a luxury 3 night stay at Loch Ness Lodge which sits on the banks of Loch Ness.

Hi Guys,

I'm in urgent need of a 6th Wedge please.

The display I have in mind will look lope sided with an odd number.

We are now up to 487 cars registered and I have a few still up my sleeve but my priority is to find the 6th Wedge.


Come on help me to make a fine display on the Wedges Anniversary.

I'll await your call……..

Also as you will be again in a special place is there any chance of everyone turning up before 9am for your positioning please.

You will be back on the crest of lawn as last time but with a very expensive friend or 2.
