With HMC, the easiest option is to let the `actual' smaller cars, such as the Willment and Fahey Escorts, the Sidchrome Imp, Collingwoods Mini,etc, run with us, at selected meetings, because the rest apart from Bruces Firebird and Tonys Camaro,are as you say out on a limb at present.
This is why I think the potential to have two big `Period Historic' meetings a year, as in era/class correct such as the Allcomers you mentioned, is possible, and could happen if logic prevailed, once you`ve addressed the `arm band' brigade with a shotgun!
Yeah I know Steve, and it'll probably never happen, I don't know of anyone who'd want to take on such a headache of an idea. But it'd only be to get the cars all out together, no club, no series, none of that. Just a formation of old original cars that raced in period. Evan Munt managed to pull together a field of old original OSCA cars a couple of years ago for the 40th anniversary of OSCA.

Another one for the list: Alan Boyle Coke Viva
