If it’s November, it must be time for another Lancaster Classic Motor Show – surely one of the biggest carfests of its kind in the UK, if not Europe, and this year was no exception. In fact, it was busier than ever. After a brief lull in attendance post-Covid, numbers were well and truly up this year and the JDC stand was swarming with visitors from the moment the doors opened on Friday 8 November.
It’s not really surprising because our Club stand had to be one of the best in Hall 1. Our acting Chairman, Bryan Mander, had set himself a pretty stiff challenge to match, if not better, last year’s brilliant display and I think everyone was agreed that he pulled it off. The theme for 2024 was the 50th anniversary of the last E-Type leaving Browns Lane, so what better way to mark it than to have that very car – the black ‘Commemorative’ Series 3 roadster, HDU 555N – alongside the very first and probably most famous roadster of them all, 77 RW.
