Eight magnificent Turner sports cars

| Brian Shaw who organised the event put
on an excellent display covering all aspects of Turner cars
from their humble beginnings at Seisdon, through to their
works at Pendeford, Wolverhampton, their restoration, and
racing career. Many of the visitors viewed the display, and
Brian was at hand to answer questions, and talk to people
about their Turner cars. |

| The sun shone and many of the visitors
enjoyed the excellent facilities at the café, and explored
Bantock House. Everyone who came along thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. Memories were rekindled and newcomers were
introduced to the world of Turner sports cars. |
