AC Heritage - Brooklands Museum New Years Day Meet

[SJ351]

Once again, preparations are in hand to put on a highly diversified display of AC cars and memorabilia at this ever growing event. All are welcome and you just need to turn up and park within the confines of Britain's oldest motor racing circuit in Weybridge, Surrey to enjoy the spectacle of well over a thousand classic cars on the Brooklands banking. As usual, the AC cars will be grouped at the top of the test hill and a number of invitations have already been extended to particular cars for the main display. However, that does not preclude others from showing up in their AC cars as before. Parking at the top of the test hill will be by invitation only. Further information will appear on the Team AC Facebook page too.
   
   Last year there were ex-factory staff in attendance and the AC and Autokraft factory 'bibles' were available for inspection, as well as AC cars from all eras. It is a great day out regardless and the museum is very interesting too.

Things are well underway again this year and there will be something of interest to all AC owners. As usual, AC and Aston Martin cars will be on display under full restoration in the workshop with the old style body/chassis construction methods in full view. There will be a Ken Rudd Rudspeed theme with old films of him racing at Goodwood (see Team AC Facebook page) and ex-factory staff will be dropping in from all eras. Outside and in will be several AC cars on display in their full guise, accompanied by the 1965 Shelby Team truck to add a bit of nostalgia.
   
   Add this to Concorde, Brooklands Museum and the thousands of other classics on display and you have the perfect start to the year. Hope to see as many of you as possible.

Great AC orientated day today with some very interesting cars on display. Once again, the most fascinating part was talking to the ex factory hands and members of the Hurlock family were also present. These are the people that can really fill in the gaps when it comes to the marque's production history. It was also very enjoyable meeting many AC owners and enthusiasts - thanks to all of you.
