New Year\u2019s Day in deep and darkest Suffolk, UK, and the Vintage Sports Car Club are out in force driving their pre-war treasures though the country lanes to meet at the Queen\u2019s Head Pub situated in the picturesque village of Hawkedon. While there is a regular monthly meet, January 1st is always a special occasion attracting 30 plus gems, weather permitting, as well as a host of post-war classic spectator vehicles.<\/p>\n

This is not a concours, all the cars arrive \u201cunder their own steam\u201d with, in most cases, their occupants suitable dressed to insulate them from England\u2019s winter weather. By mid-morning the Queen\u2019s Head car park, reserved for VSCC members, is full of Austins, Rollers, Bentleys and Astons, with this year an AC, Hispano-Suiza, Amilcar and a Bugatti thrown in for good measure. The grass verges and village green are by now filled with non-VSCC, post-war Jaguars, Citroens, MGs, Morris Minors, Triumphs, Rovers, so the list continues.<\/p>\n

\"0021<\/a><\/p>\n

For the next few hours a sea of admirers and enthusiasts exchange information and stories while drinking the odd pint of, in winter, not so warm beer. Some lunch in the pub while others, hopefully the drivers, take advantage of the hot soup provided by the VSCC in Hawkendon\u2019s village hall. All in all it\u2019s a quintessentially English way of celebrating the New Year nowhere else in the world can combine all the elements necessary to stage such an event, dare I say particularly the selection of vehicles.<\/p>\n

By 3:15 pm, the winter light is fading and it\u2019s time for those with incandescent headlights\u2014and that\u2019s most of them\u2014to start their journey home through the darkening lanes. A great day has been had by all; perhaps we\u2019ll come along and do another report in the summer\u2026when the beer will be warmer!<\/p>\n
