I hope to get there this year, but No. 3 grankid is due to arrive at the end of March, so we'll have to see.

Thoroughly enjoyed last years event and definitely recommend it worth a visit, good fun driving the off road course too.

Real pity I can't make this years event as I'll be travelling across the USA on a hog of some sort

I didn't come last year because of the no dogs rule. Glad to see you've relaxed that this year - I don't go anywhere without my buddy.

Its a 53 series 1, built as a CKD kit in Solihull, for assembly and body manufacture in Belgium, for the Belgian Army.
It is identical to a series one, except it has an unusual looking steel body.

The Minerva sounds fantastic! If it is ready in time for the Defender Day, we would love to feature it in our Ultimate Display!

Minerva isnt mine, it belongs to my good mate @Martyn110 , he came to the event last year. In fact, I came with him, in his Defender, to avoid the slow journey in my Ninety.

I doubt if the Minerva will be ready, it was a bare chassis when I was round his house a few weeks ago. Sure he would be delighted to bring it up for the display next year, though!

Sorry won't be ready this year, will a bit of luck it will be a rolling chassis by the need of this week

Ticket all booked for pentillie can't wait

Look forward to seeing you there!

Still on the hunt for beautiful Defenders to join our Ultimate Display - get in touch!!! 01579 350044 or [email protected]

I've just had someone email me from someone from pentillie asking for my email address (even tho they just emailed me) and car registration is this normal

Hi Jake, Yes this is legit. We've had tickets out on various sales sites and are now collecting all to issue our tickets - sounds unecessarily complicated, probably is. We just need your car reg to put on the ticket. Sorry for the confusion. See you soon!

I've got a flat bed trailer I'll put the series on that.

This thread is getting too personal. And, your suggestion to Turboman of bringing a flat be could be misconstrued by someone with a schoolboys mind
