Pre-war only event, stunning Irish scenery and hospitality
Summary
Our spectacular, full-capacity, sixth edition of what has become a springtime staple for pre-war car enthusiasts, saw its youngest ever winners. The event served up wall-to-wall sunshine along 500 memorable miles of the stunning coastlines and dramatic mountains of Counties Cork and Kerry. The camaraderie and accommodation at the five star Fota Island Resort and Sheen Falls Lodge also drew much praise.
