Triumph Sports Six Club Northants Area

The Standard Triumph marque day at Prescott was without doubt a huge success. Karon and I set out on the Friday, so we had the full weekend to enjoy the event. The journey was a real joy and took us through some beautiful villages and over rolling hills and only improved as we got closer to the Cotswolds. We arrived in the mid afternoon and had the pick of the campsite. By 4.00 we were pitched up in our new tent with a cup of tea. Saturday morning and in true British camping style we had a full English breakfast and watched the rain clouds gather in the distance. We set out for the start point of the Cotswold run and to our delight bumped into Colin and Jane. The route was well planed and easy to follow and gave a real flavour of the area. The next morning the event really came alive with the arrival of a massive number of Standard and Triumph cars. The paddock area had a real sense of anticipation as the first cars lined up for the famous Prescott Hill Climb. As my Herald is not exactly hill Climb material with a 0 to 60 time of, well, about a week. I felt it was best just to enter our car in the cavalcade. The parade was postponed for a while and it was just as well as with Health and Safety formalities taking longer then the dive up the hill in itself. We almost missed our turn as I was filling in the name of my next of kin and to be told when you get to the top, Stop! Just in

 case you couldn’t work that out for your self!.

 We were joined on the Sunday by Norman ,Gaye, Jenny, Tony, Martin & Linda also I was told that Marin Littlejohn was in the crowds however I was unable to spot him to say hello. The Standard Triumph Forum event certainly delivered a thrilling event that captured the imagination.
