    Sharing a few more views from Classics at the Castle Headingham Event in Essex

    Nick,

    As requested a few more shots from Headingham. Fred and the whole team do a fantastic job organising this event. Give me a shout if you are back on UK for this event next year would be good to meet. I do remember you being a director of PCGB and having a black RS but that was a many years ago when the late David Gillhooley was RS register secretary.

    Well, nice display that you have seen.
    Do you know the identities of the 2.8 RSR, 3.0 RS, 3.0 RSR and the 917?

    I have once had the opportunity to follow a 3.0 RS on a small British road with my 928 CS. This is something I will always remember

    Sorry 928cs, not offhand I don't know chassis numbers, but probably identities can be established with the knowledgable crowd here since the registration plates are mostly visible.

    Many of the RS in British ownership (and a few others) were published by Mr Starkeys book around the mid nineties - that list of owners and some registrations is long out of date except for those in long term ownership.

    A 73 RSR 2.8 with upgrade 3.0 RSR engine resides at the place kind enough to pay me to work in F1.

    Went for a run about one year ago to give it some exercise around the narrow British country lanes - that RSR was probably the cheapest, slowest and quietest race car of the many historical racecars onsite. Made some nice noises however. Its owner has an ST too I think but have not seen that one

    There is more to England than Essex...

    Goodwood Revival 2015 in Sussex is a much larger scale event and world class classic event ...Porsche put on is little display recreating a workshop form early 60s...

    Don't think of this event a museum, some of the world's most valuable and cars with history cars are raced in anger...

    Sometimes the expensive toys get a little bent...

    Some are literally toys- racing for all age groups... the kids really race these pedal Cars in their own event

    Mr MRP, how do your constant boasts about yourself square with your desire to remain completely anonymous?
    I don't recall another forum poster so boastful, in virtually every thread... your RS, your many famous friends and acquaintances, your involvement in Formula 1... yet when anyone asks for specifics, you ignore them.
    Why is a self-described "Formula 1 Director/Advisor" so inclined to boast and rave anonymously on the internet???

    I remain hopeful that your many claims are indeed true, but must say to this point you're doing a splendid imitation of an internet troll. Do you not realize that?
