Re: Algarve Historic Festival - 16 to 18 October

I understand from the circuit that the Historic will still be in October but there will also be an event in the spring. There was supposed to be Euroboss/Historic Group C this year but the Ash Cloud put paid to that. The October event will probably be either earlier or later in October as the World ...

Re: Class B +8 for sale

I could be interested in having it back as it would make a great track day and part time race car here in Portugal....BUT I have to sell the Aero 8 first. So if anyone is interested in a Mk1 Aero 8 (no 58) from 2001 there could be a deal to be done!
