Bungay Area Lions Club Classic Vehicle Rally and Country Fayre Report
The Norfolk TSSC entered an impressive eleven vehicles – three Heralds (two estates and a convertible), a Vitesse MkII, a FWD 1300SC, a Spitfire MkII, a 2000TC, a TR6, two TR7s (a Sprint and a V8 conversion) and a TR8 Factory Prototype. We all met up at the Popson Street Car Park in Bungay at 9.00am and followed in a regimented convoy to the site a couple of miles away. I did have a bit of a panic attack when our convoy was split in two by marshals at the entry gate, but having got the other side of the gate we were able to regroup as we were given our own area at the top of the field where we parked up and got the chairs out. It was really nice to see such a good turnout by the club with a real mix of vehicles between a 1964 Herald 1200 estate and a 1981 TR7 Sprint and also to see so many other Heralds, Vitesses, TR7s, Spitfires, Stags, Dolomites, big saloons and one other 1300 both from other clubs and also private entries.
The event drew in excess of 300 cars, motorbikes, military vehicles, tractors and heavy commercials spanning over 100 years of motoring – the only stipulation by the organisers was no tracked vehicles.
Drawing on the feedback received, the day was enjoyed by all those who attended and the weather held off for us, although there was a fairly cool wind cutting across the field. Earsham Hall had opened their pine workshop and gift shop and their tea rooms and there were stalls, attractions and entertainment that was enjoyed by everyone from one year upwards.
This is certainly an event that we will be looking to attend again next year, with hopefully even more classic Norfolk Triumphs.
