Need a load of sixes for a magasine shoot
Hi All,
Am about to start working on a callender of UK events for the sixes. Just going through all the classic car magasines at present trying to select some good dates and pubs to drive to etc.
Now i spoke with Matt Robinson the other day from TOTAL BMW about a six feature. Suggested getting every 6 model that was made together at one location for a magasine shoot. Need to choose a venue and a date. Please chip in if you have any good ideas.
Anyway Matt loved the idea and asked me to run with it,
Was thinking country house / Airfield in central UK location possible bruntingthorp or Avon Raceway.
Getting loads of sixes down for the day ie more than 20
Line up thought.

Obviously getting all of these down would be impossible, but if i could get a broad spread i think it would make an impressive article.
Then my next thought would be to approach Classic and Sports Car and get then to cover it giving a different article and slant.
How cool would be a line up of sixes across a runway look.
Anyway can you guys give me some feedback. Do you have a car that would be suitable. Anyone with a rarer car would be great. Obviously this would be shot in the UK, but anyone with a foreign six that wants to be a part is more than welcome.
I think this could make a bit of a sharkfest that was missed last year. Was hoping to make Brands the Sharkfest, but he weather insured that it was not going to happen.

A bit further down, and you'd have Brocket Hall or possibly even Blenheim Palace.Sohlman wrote:.....Was thinking country house / Airfield in central UK.....
A bit further north (up the A1M), and you'd have Burghley House, near Stamford, Lincs. (venue for the horse trials each September)
My car's available, in principle, James.
It will need a wash, polish and vacuum, though
Ivan,
Do you have any contacts for these places as ideally i don't want this turning into a wallet emptying exercise on my part.
We now have two cars

635csi Auto Chrome
Probable have

Alpina B7s Turbo Kat

The more the merrier.

I think that when you are chasing any location on this scale, there will be a good deal of wallet-emptying
Hi James
why not try Stanford Hall Lutterworth Leics
this venue is central in the uk
and if you were to hold this meet on a week day it would be alot less on the wallet.
or one of my favorite venues is knebworth house Herts, straight off the A1/M
or another nice venue is billings (alot of waterways,grass, and loads of ducks and again easy access in Northampton. not expensive i beleive you pay entry per car around ?8 to ?10.
thanks

Hi James,
I'm up for it.
My '87 auto is of course cosmetically similar to other cars (don't a lot of them look the same??). But mechanically its different, sharing brake system improvements with later highlines....
So you need an '87 auto for a full set....
keep me posted....
cheers

You cheeky Ivan , no it isn't. The M6 is in pretty good shape - the 82 635 had the re-construction surgery - I'd offer that up for show except it's a little far from original with M6 spoilers and ellipsoid headlamps - it is a very rare Baltic Blue thoughhorsetan wrote:Was this the one which had its B-post reattached recentlysharkfan wrote:You can have my Alpine White 1985 M635CSi Chrome-y if you'd like - it's pretty original
Good to see the enthusiasm for both the photoshoot and the Lakes meet - I'm kinda in-between so if any long drivers need a stop over heading in either direction......
Small glass of red wine, plenty of parking and a nice curry....

I can volunteer my series 1 car, 1981 with all the chrome and trx wheels.
started off auto, now manual so I can cover off 2 of your list (or none!!).
surely if we go to a country house we can get a venue cheap/ free as we can offer them magazine publicity for their property, ie encouraging all those prospective NT members to cruise down to Blenheim in their TR6.
So long as no-one does donuts on the front lawn that is
