News of the change of sponsor was reported as details of the 2008 tour were revealed.

Entries for the 2008 tour with its promise of country houses, a vineyard, the National Maritime Museum and several historic motor venues, will become available from July 1. The entry fee is 520 or 496 for previous tourists. More details from theregisclassictour@ btinternet.com or call Ms Green on 01243 542674.
