Fancy a free day out?
The new Motor attraction at Ambergate, near Belper in Derbyshire.
https://www.greatbritishcarjourney.com
I have been in discussions with the main man Richard Usher (yes Claire) ! He is a smashing bloke, a true car/ motoring enthusiast.
He is keen to get a few Deloreans over on the bank holiday Monday, 30th Aug. It will be free to all DeLorean Drivers and Guests. We will have a special place to park and full access to all the facilities.
Its great place to visit...cramed full of interesting and rare British cars. Ive been up there today in MGJ....Sorry I forgot my phone/camera!!!
Please book via me and I will sort it out....the more the merrier.
( I'll see if I can blag a few extra spaces for owners who cars are currently not running)

I'd be up for that Chris, subject to availability!
. I don't know if Richard mentioned it but I also took mine up before it had officially opened and had a brief chat with him then.

The car they have in there is MKW997W. No idea on VIN. Looks like it's now had its floppy doors sorted since the original publicity photos were taken!

We could be up for this, but we'd probably head over in my 1989 Cavalier as neither
of the De's will be on the road.

Hey Chris,
I'd be interested in attending this. It's contingent on getting my DeLorean driving properly, but I'm somewhat confident it will be sorted by then.

Leanne and I are planning on coming along to this for a day out now. May or may not make it up in Lex. I'll have to assess closer to the time.
