Details: Website: http://www.caledonianmsc.freeuk.com Town: Dundee Car Clubs, Edinburgh Car Clubs, Glasgow Car Clubs Car Type: Classic Car Clubs

Description: Based in Dundee the club runs rallies and tours for historic and sporting cars of all types. You don't need to have a Classic or historic car to join the club. We have plenty of drivers looking for navigators, and marshals are always in demand. Many of the cars entering the events are absolutely standard cars and at most events you will see a smattering of fairly standard concours cars of the fifties, sixties and seventies. Whilst the more competitive cars tend to be Ford Escorts and Minis the highest placed standard car on several events in 2004 was an MG Midget. Whilst the newcomer might think that a nice powerful engine is a guarantee of success the real key to a good placing is some good teamwork between a neat and tidy driver, a well organised and confident navigator and most importantly a reliable car. There is a fairly even mix of sports and saloon cars and it is not unusual to see the odd Land-Rover competing and a number of regular crews use cars they have built as replicas of the works rally cars of the sixties. However many people use very standard cars which they regularly use as their everyday transport. Visit any of the events and you will see a nice mix of Triumph Heralds, MG Midgets, Triumph Spitfires, Saab 96’s, Hillman Imps and even the occasional Frogeye Sprite, Bond Equipe and Wolseley 1500.
