50 Years of the Toledo & 1500
We'll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the launch of these fine models with special parking areas as well as free gifts and new merchandise on sale.

Do we have any inkling as to whether TDCIR will be going ahead this year?

I'd foolishly thought that since the garden centres were opening up again, we'd be ok, just park the cars a couple of feet further apart to maintain social distancing and bingo, it is quite a big field!

But with even outdoor gatherings limited to 30 people, risk assessments required and no government guidance on car shows specifically, I may have been a touch naive in my assumptions!

Does anyone have the straight word?

We're mulling this over at the moment and should make a decision shortly...
