I should have started the thread in this section.

All Acclaims welcome. Meeting at The Bullnose Morris pub (OX4 6SS) at 12.00pm, then entering the Cowley works at Gate 7 to gather in the car park (with the co-operation of BMW) and then a leisurely drive in convoy (with a stop of two) over to the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon where the last Acclaim off the production line is kept. It is hoped that Gaydon might dig it out for us.

Depending on what happens about picking up the 2500 I may pop in as we'd be passing, but I may have it delivered, or may go and collect, it's currently in Halifax oddly enough...

It was quite a good turnout with 19 turning up at Cowley with 3 more at the Heritage Motor Centre along with their last-off-the-line Acclaim.

Neil, if you're reading this do you need any photos from me? I've posted them up on Photobucket (still uploading as I type this!) so let me know which ones you want and I'll e-mail the original files to you. I'll post the link later on.

Here's the link to my Photobucket album:

A few photos...


The Guru's Acclaim which must be the only one which has had a nut-and-bolt restoration around a brand new shell.




The Avon Turbo.




The final Acclaim off the production line. This and the Avon Turbo generated the most interest.

I didn't get up to collect the car, it's still stuck in Halifax, pity as it would have been a nice day out.
