As I have just indulged in an S-Type 2.7D, I thought I'd open this up to fellow S-Type owners:

Due to various people asking, I have planned another visit to the Morgan Car Factory on Friday 26th May 2017 - this will commence at 11am. The cost for the tour is £20 per person, payable on the day.

If the tour goes to plan, it should finish at 1.30pm. I would assume that people would like to 'refuel' after the tour, in the cafe at the factory and peruse the shop so that would take it to 2.15 - 2.30pm.

My suggestion is, if anyone is heading back Coventry way, was to stop off at Hatton Locks (CV35 7JL), about an hour's run. This famously known as The Stairway To Heaven and consists of 21 locks. There is also a cafe (open until 4.30pm) that serves lovely afternoon teas!
This is entirely up to the individual - if they are interested, please let me know.

I have also planned to visit Coventry Transport Museum on Saturday 27th May 2017 - commencing at 10am. We will be parking in Millenium Place, with kind permission of the museum.
Anyone coming to the Coventry Transport Museum, there will be a Virtual Reality Experience kindly arranged by the West Midlands Police - whatever that may be. This is only the second time they have showcased the virtual reality equipment and there is no extra charge incurred.

I will be leaving the museum by 1.45pm (latest) because I will be attending the Vulcan event at Wellesbourne Airfield later on at 2.30pm.
Unfortunately, for everyone else, this is already fully booked up!

Some of us are stopping overnight (on Friday) at The Chace Hotel, London Road, Coventry. CV3 4EQ. This is about 3 miles from the Transport Museum.

If anyone is interested in joining in with the X300/X308's, please let me know asap possible as I will need to inform the Morgan Factory and Coventry Transport Museum of intended numbers.

You can also email me at x300.jec@gmail.com

Thanks,
Steve.

This looks like it will be a fantastic day, just wish I lived nearer.

Everything still going ahead as planned, so let me know if any S-type custodians are interested!

Just remember to follow correct directions when going to Coventry Transport Museum - or you might end up in a bus lane!

This looks absolutely brilliant!

Sorry I'll be missing out, Popsjag. Thanks for the warm invitation to all S-type drivers!
