WELCOME TO THE VAUXHALL 30-98 REGISTER
Hot off the press.....
New parts
Piers Trevelyan at Ashton Keynes Vintage Restoration has just received his first batch of new OE heads. If you need one, or think that it would be a good thing to have ready on the shelf as a spare, please contact him to discuss.
Thanks to Rob Hubbard's OE blocks and Marsh Brothers' D and E-Type blocks, we are well served by Register members in the supply of these crucial major parts, many of which are starting to show their age after 100 years!

Hampton Court Concours of Elegance on Sunday 6th September 2026
This event 3 years ago was really great fun and 'Finest of Luton's Sporting Cars' really did make a splendid display. Here's a reminder! The organisers are trying to push for more pre war cars. So we are going again in 2026!
Registration is very straightforward - just browse to the Hampton Court Concours website - go to the tickets page - and put in the promotional code 309826 to open up our ticket options: https://concoursofelegance.co.uk
Tickets are £71.40 per car with driver - and £40.80 per additional passenger, and include full access to the house and gardens.
