Convoy to Coventry
David Vincent, driving a Jaguar XK 150 and Craig Gardner in a Jaguar E Type are going to visit every City in Mainland Britain. There are 61 cities to visit. When they arrive in each City they will have a photograph taken at a landmark to prove that they have been there, in most cases you would not be allowed to get a car anywhere near these landmarks. For example College Green, Cambridge and the Precincts of Wells Cathedral. This is all in aid of Cancer Research and the Downs Syndrome Association, David in the XK suffers from Bowel Cancer and Craig has a five year old cousin with Downs Syndrome. Check out www.3000miles.co.uk
On Sunday 13th June the cars will be arriving in convoy, with a selection of Classic Cars here on Millennium Place. Leaving the Jaguar Castle Brom Plant at 11.15 am they will take the Collector Road towards the A45 and Coventry transport Museum. They have been promised some special cars in the display, possibly a Jaguar C type with Le Mans racing pedigree.
A collection will be taken on the day for the named charities, so come along, dig deep and see some spectacular British cars.

Daimler Buses Reunion
This event took place on the 16th May and was an opportunity to bring former staff members of Coventry Transport back together with some of the vehicles that they worked with. Here we see Travel De-Courcey’s Daimler along with 333 CRW from the museum and 334CRW belonging to Roger Burdett. The new bus on the left is in fact the surprisingly old Daimler Fleetline PDU 135M, also in attendance the Metrobus which was painted in Coventry colours whilst in service with WestMidlands Travel.
After posing for pictures in Broadgate the vehicles moved off to follow the old 9 route to Ernesford Grange. Then it was a Journey to Bedworth and Nuneaton for more pictures and a meeting with Ashley Wakelin’s Ex Midland Red D9.
