This popular event will take place on July 19th, starting, as usual, at Tonbridge school with refreshments, followed by a leisurely drive through the local countryside. This year we will be heading south-east, taking our lunch break at the Gusbourne Vinyard near Appledore where, in addition to lunch, an optional tour of the vineyard or wine-tasting will be offered. Gusbourne produce some award-winning sparkling wines and this will be a great opportunity to pick up a couple of bottles for your next special occasion. The entry fee will include a 2-course buffet lunch from their excellent kitchens in a picturesque rural setting. We will then wend our way back to Tonbridge and the school where a well-deserved cream tea will end the day.

​

The entry fee is for a car with 2 occupants and includes all food and refreshments except drinks at lunchtime (a bar will be available), a car plaque and full route instructions.

​

The route will comprise about 100 miles of roads and the organisers will be endeavouring to take in the less potholed roads in Kent and Sussex where possible!

​

The event is open to all sports cars and classic cars or anything rare or interesting cars.

​

Note: everything takes place on public roads so all entries must be road legal and as a ‘touristic rally’ no competitive driving is allowed.
