The FCC (Four Counties Classic) will continue to meet on the first and third Saturdays of every month in 2024:

The FCC (Four Counties Classic) is a free gathering for all pre-1990 classic cars.

4 CountiesThe gatherings take place from 9am to noon on the first and third Saturdays of every month throughout the year at The Bletchingley Arms, 2 High St, Bletchingley, Surrey RH1 4PE

For those who need sustenance, The Bletchingley Arms serves breakfast between 9.30am and 10.30am.

The event is a static gathering in the midst of some wonderful driving roads though the scenic North Downs. When the weather was kind, prior to the lock-downs we often had as many as 130 cars in attendance. One reason for the success of the gathering is its geographical location close to the borders between four counties. We have regular members who come from Surrey, Greater London, Kent and Sussex. There are probably more classic cars in these four counties than anywhere else in the country (and therefore the world).

King Alfred Busses News April 2024 

Many people will have been aware of the devastating fire that swept through a building managed by the Winchester-based charity Friends of King Alfred Buses (FoKAB) last December. Seven buses belonging to private owners were completely destroyed and one bus – FoKAB's very rare 1950 Leyland Olympic (Model HR40), carefully restored between acquisition in 1993 and 2012 – was very badly damaged by the fire.

Chairman of FoKAB James Freeman rapidly enlisted the support of the National Association of Road Transport Museums (NARTM) to assist with the insurance issues, which were complex and at times very discouraging. The first task was to explain the significance in the national context of the Olympic and the second was to persuade the insurance company not to insist on destruction of the vehicle as a write-off. This needed a very sophisticated approach.

James Freeman announced today that thanks to steadfast NARTM support, agreement had now been reached between the charity and its insurers for the claim to be paid and the remains of the vehicle passed back to FoKAB, with the aim of giving it a long term future. This is a super result said James. Having recently arranged the removal of the bus to our facility near Winchester, where it is safely under cover, we can now embark on the next stage of this operation, which is to carry out a very careful assessment of the challenge that would face us, were we to attempt a full restoration of JAA 708.

It comes just as NARTM is launching a comprehensive nationwide survey designed to grade and list its members' preserved buses and coaches across the country. The 'Bus Inspectors' are now embarking on their national task, which will be of enormous assistance for explaining the value of each vehicle in the wider context. As Dennis Talbot (NARTM's Chairman) said:

It is good that NARTM was able to play its part assisting FoKAB to a positive outcome and this makes clear that a significant benefit of our scoring and grading system will be its ability to show how unique specific vehicles are in a national context. We hadn't considered its use in such tragic circumstances, of course.

Dennis continued: It seems that some companies insuring historic vehicles don't appreciate their unique value and seek to treat them like everyday cars, where if one is written off you would simply take the money offered and buy an equivalent car. With this experience under our belt, we may be able to improve the insurance experience of NARTM members in future.
