BC Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 The Fraserburgh Vintage Vehicle Rally is being held at the Leisure Centre in Fraserburgh on Sunday 1st June 2008. This year the rally will be hosting the Scottish Vintage Vehicle Federations event the "Champion of Champions" events too. The COC is held as part of a different rally each year and invites class winners at 2007 rallies to enter and compete for the COC in their respective classes. In addition there is a a prize for the Supreme Champion of Champions from all the vehicle classes. In addition the event will be celebrating 100 years of the model T Ford. The event is organised by James Gray who is a director of the refrigerator trailer manufacturers Gray & Adams and is an extremely well organised event. Hosting the CoC promises to bring a good selection of vehicles from all over Scotland up to the Buchan coast on Sunday 1st June. I'll be going along as usual and this year I have my 1951 Farmall Cub and 1948 Ransomes MG 2 booked in. Within the leisure centre there are numerous stalls and craft fair type of stall to keep any females going along interested ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looking at the weather forecast it says it will be cloudy in Fraserburgh on Sunday. Never mind that will do me as long as it not raining... plays havoc with the shiny brass bits ;D Mind you father is obsessed with cleaning brasses so it saves me doing it. I'm the washer and polisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Looks like a good day out for all and a nice varied selection of machines - especially the Claas combine - I think it is a Matador Giant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a slight wind and smell of fish factories in Fraserburgh though ;D. I didn't actually have a close inspection of the combine but it looked in good original condition. In fact I think the owner is a Gray & Adams employee and also has a collection of Zetor tractor's. There was an article probably in Classic Tractor some time back about his Zetors.
