is a web site i will be moving archive pics of runs & shows
Although most of us own and drive mk11s and go by the name THE 3 GRACES we also welcome mk 1s, 111s ,IVs and Vs as well as other makes and models from the 50s and 60s era. We have American Buicks, Chevy, Pontiac and Plymouth in the club along with a splendid Vauxhall velox estate, consul Capri and a 60s beetle so don’t think that if you don’t drive a mk11 your not welcome we are a friendly bunch and love looking and talking classic cars and try to help each other out the best we can so please don’t be put off with all the ford logos thanks Dave & Brian
