Great British Car Journey

Post by royhedger » Sat Apr 13, 2024 5:49 pm

Hello, I went to a Nordik rides event at TMS Volvo dealers in Hinckley today. Was really good. The organiser Kam, invited me to an event at the Great British Car Journey on 27th April. He'd like to see a good few 480's there. Anyone fancy it?
There will be loads of Volvos and Saab's there.

Al and I will probably join you. I have my white turbo on the road this month and Al wants to come in the Saab. It will be nice to meet you Roy. I'll have words in a few ears in case local members haven't seen your post.

Kam, the organiser has said that unfortunately there are no tickets available at the gate on the day, and all tickets must be purchased in advance from here:

This gets entry to the GBCJ attraction as well.

Nice to meet you too Roy. The weather wasn't great but at least it only rained a bit on the drive there. Just distinctly cold.
Paul-b came along with his family turbo and a black ES from the Volvo Enthusiasts club so there were four 480s. Three Saabs, including Al in Kimosaaby plus endless modern Volvos.
The museum was interesting so all in all we had a great day. For some reason I can no longer post pictures on the forum which Jeff hasn't been able to sort out.
