Today three avid 131-ers drove to what used to be called the MVEE (Military Vehicle Engineering Establishment) Test track at Longcross, Surrey, for a photo shoot for Auto Italia. Michael Ward was the photographer and Matt Zollo will write the words (which I hope will be nice!
).
The cars were Bobby Sev's green Sport from Derby, Graham Franklin's Volumetrico from Canterbury and my Abarth Stradale, so a pretty good cross section of 'performance' 131s. Thing is that the track is a pretty fast one, so my car will probably not fair all that well against a twin carb'd or supercharged 131 - goes better round twisty, turny roads than on a fast track, but we'll see.
Didn't take any pics myself as didn't see much point. Mike's pics will be far better than mine.
I'm sure that Bobby took some though, so perhaps he'll post some up. I've also asked Mike to send us a CD each, so we'll see what hits the mat - eventually.
Good to see you again guys, and I hope you both had a safe and trouble free journey home. Here's to the next meet!
