Fancy taking the 3 wheeled van out for a run?
Or maybe the Ford Capri?
We caught up with Simon Taylor who is arrangeing a OFAH Charity for BBC Children in Need for 2011
He tells us, “I’m am running at charity advent for bbc children in need 2011 september 9 – 12.
It’s a car run over 3 days starting off in Penzance and driving up to Peckham to meet in nags head for a good old cockney knees up.”
Event Details
Simon tells us, “The run is over 3 days so we can stop off at only fools and horses film locations on way, Whitemead house Bristol, which was used as Nelson Mandela House, Weston-Super-Mare where the 2001 Christmas special was filmed plus loads more. My aim is to raise £3000 for children in need. I myself drive a reliant del boy lookalike, but the run is open to all types of classic cars anything from 3 wheelers, vintage cars, kit cars, VW’s, Cortina’s , Reliant’s etc.”
“I have had this idea for a few years now , in my car I have done charity runs before and about 4 years ago I did a only fools and horses night in Cornwall . I myself am a big only fools and horses fan , I have tons of only fools and horses stuff from signed pictures ,the trotters bar, a fruit machine which i have just brought of Perry . The East Anglia Stig will be attending the run – I intend to make this run big!”
We hope there will be loads of fans joining Simon on this 3 day run
