Title: Sunday 2nd August '09 - Amberley Microcar & Scooter Rally
Post by: Karl on 20, May, 2009 - 10:35:40
I've been invited back to the microcar rally at Amberley Museum .
http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/

Last years event was blessed with liquid sunshine, but was still a well attended event;

Fingers crossed the weather is a bit warmer this year  :)

I've phoned Amberley museum today and they are happy to accept more Sinclair C5's for display at this microcar rally.

You will need to email office@amberleymuseum.co.uk and ask for an entry form. Once they have received your completed entry form they will then post you back an entry pass for the day,granting you free access to the event.

It's not long until the event, so anyone wanting to join in should apply asap.

Karl,

So I e-mail them and tell them I want to show a C5 ?  - Do I need to mention C5Alive ?

Julia says we can come - and asks what time do we need to be there for ?

My application has landed - but I dont know how to fill it in !

Do I have to have RTA Insurance for a C5 ? whats that anyway ?
Do I need a licence for this class of vehicle ? - lol ok I know the answer to that one - lol
Do kids get in free or do I have to send a fiver for Mark ?

Sorry to be a little thick !

Looking at the leaflet, it would seem that unfortunately only the driver and 1 passenger goes free, so I guess you will need to pay for Mark.

The insurance requirement is for vehicles subject to the RTA (Road Traffic Act), so I'm assuming that it is not applicable to our C5's. It was relevant in my case only because I am taking the mini-el , which is registered as a motorcycle and therefore requires MoT and Insurance.

Is the built up to 1975 a typo on the leflet ?

Anyway I have filled it in - just needs a stamp and posting

..nope, not a typo. The 1975 limit was to keep it as a "classic" microcar rally - but we're allowed in as a special exception to the rule (includes the mini-el which is also officially too young to enter).

Another benefit to being part of C5alive mate  ;D

I sometime ride along with my headphones on, which i agree its not really a safe idea, but i tend to do this only when on the cycle paths, so no traffic to worry about, so some speakers would be a better allround idea, as Umpa says as long as its not too loud.
