Savaged At Birth!

 Some of you may know about my passion for Classic Cars - particularly the MK 2 Cortina. Or to be more precise, the incredibly rare Savage V6 3 litre (of which I’m a proud owner). CAN 187H is my pride and joy, a car that has been part of my life for the last 24 years. It’s given me an immense amount of pleasure during this time. We’ve had great fun and visited some fabulous places in Europe (not to mention all over the UK). 

 Owning a classic car: not as expensive as you’d think

 Owning a classic car doesn't have to be an expensive experience. You can use one as a daily driver, or for weekend transport. Just choose a car that suites your budget, requirements and desires! These are the most important factors, along with keeping it good running order. With some time, dedication and TLC, you can have a car that will give you an infinite of fun (whilst drawing admiring glances from the public).

Broken Back!

 In December 2008, I had the misfortune to fall from the roof-level of my mum’s house on to a small flight of steps, resulting in me breaking my back. To say that I was lucky is an understatement!  In retrospect, I was close to being paralysed, or worse. 

 

Thankfully, the Midlands Air Ambulance lifted me from Drybrook to Frenchey Hospital, This valuable service got me there in around 20 minutes. X Rays, MRI and CTC scans showed I hadn't broken anything else, I guess a broken back was enough!  The doctors ordered over 7 months off work. However, I also had to wear a special back brace for 3 months, which prevented me from bending and doing all the usual things… as well as driving.

Naturally, I’m extremely grateful to all the nursing staff for looking after me.  The Midlands Air Ambulance service literally saved my life! 


Rally Nite: A celebration of rally escorts & more…


So, bearing all of the above in mind, allow me introduce you to Rally Nite - a celebration of rally escorts and lots more besides. This is a show for the petrol heads amongst you, but if even if you're not; it's still well worth the trip. This event will be taking place at the Brewery, Cheltenham.

See top classic rally and classic cars all in one place

You can look forward to more cars in the Après bar. Here, you will be able to see a film show, auction and tributes by Tony Mason, Ex Top Gear presenter, and co-driver to the late Roger Clarke (who he navigated to victory in the RAC rally of 1970).

Rally winners & other treasures

Hannu Mikkala's London to Mexico World Cup Rally winning MK1 Escort (replica) will also be attending the event.  There are even rumours that the 3 Minis from “The Italian Job” may make an appearance (to be confirmed). However, I can say that you’ll be able to see an RS200 rally car and many more gems.

Bristol Street Motors (Main Sponsors) and the Ford Motor Co. road show will be covering Rally Nite. It’s going to be a very special occasion, because they’ll be unveiling their brand new 500 bhp fastback Mustang (a UK first). Yes, this will be the very first sighting of their new model, and I'm very proud to say that Ford andBristol Street Cheltenham have invited me to display my Savage to the show! This will be a special evening for me, as this show will be raising funds for the Midlands Air Ambulance 

So, this is very fitting considering the fact that needed their help back in 2008. 

The Air Ambulance road show will be in attendance, holding a raffle during the evening. 

Local singer Jo Silver will be singing, and a world famous magician will be working his magic and trickery around the bars and restaurants. 

To top it all off, Richard Hammond, Stevie Windwood and Sir Jeff Hurst have been invited and, it's hoped that they will attend. 

So please do come along say hello, and enjoy an evening of motoring nostalgia!

Hi Rob

I wonder if you could contact me. It's regarding your MK2 and in particular its first owner who I believe was the MD of Car Preservation Ltd, I have just a quick question to see if you can help.

Kind regards
Murdo
