I’m at this event on Sunday also, looks like the weather will be reasonable!
Think they have the GT4 F type SVR race team with a display as well as quite a few F-Types in the carpark fir sure.
In line with my resolution to go to some events this season, thought I’d chance my luck and put my F Type forward for a place in the Blenheim parade.
To my surprise they accepted my offer. Rally Plaque and stickers in the pile of mail waiting for me on my return from a recent trip abroad.
So there will be at least 1 F Type in the timeline parade, probably at the back with the other noisy ruffians.

Not travelling from Essex though.

What a lovely day. Great weather. Beautiful cars. Got chatting to a lovely bloke who's customised his E-type as a hill-climber, over the course of 49 years. He pretty much rebuilt the car.

A few pics...

+1 to the C-X75
My picture gallery included similar display cars as Basher’s above.
‘Twas certainly a perfect day for a car show. Apart from the Blackbird that left a message on my bonnet, the car remained clean and very presentable after the journey. Never been to Blenheim before, what a spectacular backdrop for the event.
Spent time with my wife at the Invictus Race display, talking with one of the drivers of car 44 on display. Royal Marine Major Steve McCulley. In 2011 whilst on tour in Helmand Province an IED was to terminate a 17 year career but miraculously not his life, after 2 years physical rehabilitation he had to re-evaluate his future.
He started his own business making bespoke cycles, but turned to 4 wheels as he was no longer able to compete in cycling events.
Through Mission Motor sport a forces charity for novice drivers, he was introduced to Caterham racing and did rather well in the following years. Hence his inclusion in the Invictus Games Race team driving a Jaguar SVR GT race car created by Jaguar SVO division, with ongoing support from David Appleby Engineering.
Steve has his own website( take a look ) among his talents listed is inspirational speaking, to which I can say I was suitably inspired during our conversation with him.
Thanks to Steve for his time and good fortune with the remaining races in the series.
Which the team delighted in telling us( tongue in cheek) they are leading.... be it after one meeting 2 races.
