That's what I was looking for! Can you or Clara try to get a concession for post 1969 Vivas/Firenzas/Magnums otherwise some of us will be out in the public parking. I am not too worried if the cut-off for free entry is pre- 1969 if need be.
Clara have you got any recommendations for Hotels/ Guesthouses.
I presume other than going in the Tramway village we do our own thing.
Cheers
Fred

Sorry did not read what you said properly. Having read it again I see there is a special parking area for post 1969 cars.However having thought more about the timing of event I have decided to give it a miss. :oops: :(
