Well, what a glorious, practically perfect summer weekend we ended up with. The sky was azure blue, the estate was clothed in fresh spring green and the parade of fine motor cars was never ending.

We hope that all our visitors, whether competeing or spectating had as much enjoyment out of La Vie 09 as we did. It was a great deal of hard work from our end, but absolutely worth it.
If you missed it we had some RARE CARS ON DISPLAY

Bugatti EB 110 (CHASSIS # 1) the 1st Bugatti supercar, EB (Ettore Bugatti) 110 years after his birth.
Veyron Pur Sang (Pure Blood) one of only 5 in the world - no paintworkjust pure polished aluminium and carbon fibre
3 Bugatti Veyron (and the number is rising)
1939 Type 59s Bugatti owned by King Leopold III og Belgium - this is the legendary Black Bugatti, the last of the great Bugatti Grand Prix racing cars.
1937 Type 57 Atalante - you may have head of this one in the news late last year. Found in the garage of eccentric Doctor on his death. Sold just after Xmas for just over £3 million to a European collector and coming back to Cheltenham for this event.
(Trivia: originally owned by Earl Howe the BOC president and patron)
1986 Lotus 98 Turbo Renault formerly driven by Ayrton Senna.  With up to 1300 bhp available, this car will provide one of the weekend’s highlights.
