Went to a Delapre Abbey in Northampton today for their Classics on the Lawn event that been running for the the last few years . Not a big show but a nice setting and we were blessed with glorious sunshine after a thunderstorm of biblical proportions in the early hours of last night in the locality . We had four Corvettes lined up together , myself and another local ex club member plus a Thames Valley Region member and a South Central member over from the Cotswolds . Two other C3`s were displayed elsewhere at the show . A good social get together around our cars and lots of public admiring them as the venue is owned by the local council and the grounds and park land are open to the public . The Fiat 500 Club had a great turn out with a long line of original tiny 500`s , not the bloated new models !!

Despite the less than clement weather for much of the day and an hour and half wet journey across Northamptonshire and Warwickshire , it was still an enjoyable day meeting up with the CCUK Central South gang at Coughton Court near Alcester in Warwickshire . Coughton Court has been in the Throckmorton family since 1409 so you can imagine they are getting on a bit !! 
Mike & Debbie Penn had arranged the visit and reserved display parking in the families private parking area in front of the old stable block and yard for our 17 Corvettes covering all models from C2 to C8 . I think all those Chevy V8 horses were the most the stables had seen in many a year ! We had our own private guided tour of the gardens and grounds by none other than Baroness Imogen Throckmorton herself followed by a guided to of the house and all its long family history . It was at the heart of the famous Guy Faulks `Gun Powder Plot ` back in the day . A leisurely lunch and general chit chat was taken in the Stables cafeteria .
The Corvettes draw admiring looks from the Throckmorton`s and their young children as the few visitors that had braved the dismal weather . Being able to climb to the top of the tower roof provided and great views of the surrounding countryside and a glimpse of out cars down the stable yard entrance . Unfortunately the journey home was equally as wet , but hey ho , can`t win `em all !
