Gurston Down Hill Climb
Approximately 20 cars made the trip to Fovant to have lunch in the wonderful Emblems Restaurant overlooking the Fovant Badges. These copies of regimental cap badges which were carved into the chalk hillside by soldiers during WWI are still maintained today by the Fovant Badges Society www.fovantbadges.com . The day was organised by a member of the society and fellow Maserati owner and enthusiast Richard Bullard in order to raise awareness for the badges and funds for their continued upkeep. Emblem Sports Cars were pleased and honoured to be asked by Richard to be a part of the event and Clive and Myles went along for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Attendees enjoyed an informative talk about the badges and their history before heading off to Gurston Down for a procession along the hillclimb track accompanied by an announcement about each car from the commentators. A great day was had by all, despite a little unseasonal rain, and our thanks go out to Richard for his hard work organising the event and to the Emblems Restaurant who laid on a fantastic lunch.
Keen automotive photographer Damian Blade went along to take photos and you can find his details below along with directions of how to purchase a memento of the day. Click here to view his pictures
