display that told the story of Turner Sports Cars

and preservation. The display also included a film of
the cars performing at various racing events. |

| As usual the Bantock café provided refreshments and
meals, and many people explored the house. It was a
lovely day, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks must go to
Brian Shaw for organising the event, which is the only
annual vehicle rally that takes place in Wolverhampton,
and features only locally made vehicles. |
