Hello Paul, I’d like to confirm place for ‘Il Divo’ (Eunos 1.8 auto) for Sunday please.  Thanks Scotty

Hi John,

We live in Lancashire, and have booked a week away in a cottage down in Seaford, not too far from Eastbourne for the May Bank holiday week.  I see from your post that we’ve an added bonus for our break, as it includes the Magnificent Motors weekend .

 

We’d originally thought that if the weather was looking decent we’d go in our Mk1 MX5, but having our cocky spaniel with us, if looking like a dodgy rather than doggy week, we’d go in the family hatch (not much fun for my Mrs sharing the Mk1 passenger seat with a soggy spaniel all week )

 

Anyway, would it be asking too much to put us down as possible/maybe for the Sunday, to be confirmed nearer the time?  If numbers are running tight on the stand I quite understand that you might only be able to take definite bookings.

Thanks Ray & Bev

Hi Sarah,

I had contacted John & Jon with this query.  Thank you for sorting it and adding us to the list.

We visited Eastbourne and surrounding area every year for many years with our touring caravan, and are looking forward to the event and time to re-explore the area, for the first time in an MX5 - bring on the sunshine!

Thanks again, Ray & Bev

Hi Ray and Bev I look forward to seeing you both will try to bring sunshine for us love Sarah xxx

Is there a space available for Sunday

Well, we are hoping to coax our little MX5 out of the garage tomorrow, to brave an escape from the wintery sleet and snow we’re having in east Lancashire.

I’m sure a promise of some south coast sunshine should do it    (Fingers crossed :o)
