egg Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I have spoken to Lesley Cook who looks after the Hammond Microcar collection in Kent (TN12 postcode - between Headcorn and Staplehurst). The original owners founded the RUMcar register/forum. I have confirmed that up to 20 cars from us (quirkier the better she says!) will turn up on 12th May 1pm for a tour. The 20 car limit is due to only so much hard standing. Apparently there is a pub down the road for drink/food afterwards. This is a private collection, so we can only attend at this time and date unless you make your own separate arrangements. The charge is £3 a head, which I think is very fair. I will happily play banker (yes, banker) on the day. The limit is 20 cars, but up to 30-40 people. So please put your username below (and any other forum members who will be in the car with you).https://www.hammondmicrocars.com/ 1. egg 2. GrumpiusMaximus + better half 3. SierraMikeHotel 4.

SierraMikeHotel Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Ooh, yes please. I don't have access to a quirky car at the moment so if the 20 spaces fill with more interesting vehicles maybe I could park elsewhere and cadge a lift with someone? egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
