Rally Costa Brava Historic 2011

31st March – 3rd April

This historic regularity rally, open to cars built before 1985, as the name suggests is run in the mountains behind the Costa Brava. The rally is centred at the sea-side town of Lloret de Mar and consists of approximate 900km, 400 of which are competitive. The first stint began up in the mountains on Thursday night through to the early hours of Friday morning. There were further stages on Friday morning followed by a test at Sils Go-Kart circuit, where it was necessary to attempt to drive the circuit at a constant 50kph. However as go-kart circuits are generally very tight, this was all but impossible and the test became a flat-out thrash.

Don't be Scared by the Winter, Embrace it!

Here at Revington TR we believe TRs should be used all year round but most owners are discouraged with the slightest hint of inclement weather. Worrying that bodywork will be damaged from the wet or heater systems can't cope with the cold, or simply not being able to see where you’re going.

Thankfully Revington TR are here to help with upgrades such as underwing shields and wax oiling protecting your bodywork. High performance heater systems keeping you warm in the winter months and in combination with Upgraded wiper systems keeping your view of the road clear.

So why not treat your car to an upgrade and enjoy TR Motoring all year round!

Ambi’ling through India

India, a stunning country with traffic conditions being just as stunning! Neil & Sue Revington tell the story of their trip through the back roads of Kerala in a Hindustan Ambassador on Classic Journeys India Road Rally.

Wow, what a driving experience! Driving in India is something that very few English people have done and the experience can be both terrifying and exciting at the same time. However in an Ambassador, affectionately known as an Ambi, we certainly had the right tool for the job. He comfortably got us across 1,300 miles of rough Indian back roads during this wonderful and eventful rally.

The event is organised by Steve McCullagh of classiccarjourneys.co.uk and after having read an article about the event in Octane Magazine, I thought I would contact Steve to learn more about the rally. I was astonished to find that he lives 100m from where we hold our monthly local TR Meeting so Steve and I agreed it would be a good idea if he gave a talk to the TR Club. This happened in January this year and as a consequence of this not only did we sign up, but our friends Mike and Jacky Tidball decided to come along and take part as well.
