The prizes for both the best car and the oldest car was won by Saskia Hart, with her navigator Deborah Saltman, who took part in an 1922 Humber 15.9, an ‘all weather saloon’ called ‘Horace’, owned by her father Piers Hart.

It is a rally with a difference!  The owners of six of Suffolk’s most beautiful and important historic houses have very kindly agreed to open their gates and to act as the assembly and start points: houses like Elveden Hall,  one of Suffolk’s most unusual, re-fashioned in the late C19th in Mughal style by the Maharaja Duleep Singh, and Tattingstone Place with its spectacular landscaped gardens.

From these starting points around the county you will set out on a tour across Suffolk taking in lovely countryside and remarkable churches as you tackle a fiendish church quiz.  And finally end up for teas and prizes at the grand rally where the six teams of cars will all gather together.
