Coltishall Cars and Coffee

Meetup for owners of Vintage - Classic - Retro cars (pre 2000) visiting the RAF Coltishall Heritage center (Scottow enterprise park). Who is the meet for? A. Q.

Supported by Java Bean and raising funds for RAFSCHT (event not open to the public) FAQ's

Q) Do I need to book? A) No but we appreciate you responding to our Facebook event with "going" if you will be there on the day

Q. The meet is open to owners of vintage, classic and retro cars / bikes (define as pre 2000 W prefix and earlier and no 51/02 style plates). It is not a general public / family ev

ent or fun day, you need to own or be a passenger in a suitable vehicle on the day (no dogs, pet lizards or furry gonks). Q) I don't have a classic car can I attend? A) Sadly no as this is a group visit to the Heritage centre which is on private land we cannot support general public access, its also a problem for our insurance (sorry)

Q) Is there a fee or charge to attend? A) This is a free event but we are fundraising for the heritage centre so please don't forget your purse / wallet! What about car groups? We are unable to accommodate large groups or ride outs as this is an informal meet, of course we welcome those who know each other through various groups to arrive and park together. What will be happen on the day? Vehicles will be directed from the gate to our parking spot, you must follow the on site speed restriction and park up *this is a static meet* you will leave via the same route. Anyone not following these directions will be asked to leave. If you are expecting a supermarket car park meet with smoke and silliness please stay away! What will be available on the day? A range of cars to view, coffee and refreshments for purchase and a chance to tour the heritage centre and raise some badly needed funds for them (so please bring some spare change!)

Q. What insurance do I need? As a minimum you need the legal insurance to drive to the meet including 3rd Party liability. As we are meeting on private land you need to check your insurance will cover this. Your attendance is entirely at your risk and this meet and all involved are not liable for any loss or damage incurred. Sounds a bit serious it will be fun right? Absolutely, we just need everyone coming to be sensible, respectful (as most always are) and we can have a great morning with cools cars, coffee and cold war!

While we hope to be able to host a meet in 2024 for this group you may want to visit our sister show this year in Mundesley on Sunday July 30th.

We have a total! £440.30 raised from last Sundays cars and coffee meet at Coltishall. The heritage trust are so grateful to everyone who attended both for the financial contribution but more so with the sheer numbers of you who packed the centre making it the busiest day ever.

The heritage centre is open Thursdays and Sundays from 10am and the volunteers would be pleased to show you round.

Lastly let's attempt to answer the big question! When's the next meet? We are already in discussions to run again in 2022 at the end of the car show season. Our Aim is to run as a bi-annual car meet and to keep it simple.

Please ensure you have liked / followed our page and Instagram feed so you hear about the future date first!

Looking back on Sunday's meet and a unique perspective thanks to (Norfolk Mini Owners Club) for this sizzle reel.

Thanks once again to each and every one of you who made the trip to the RAF Coltishall Heritage Centre and Javabean

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning we were overwhelmed by your support and also your generosity in raising more than £400 for the Coltishall Heritage Trust.

The rain stayed away and the most eclectic collection of cars and bikes plus a fantastic group of folks showed up, we can't say thank you enough.

Our first event and many things we can improve on for next time, we'd certainly like a shorter coffee queue but the 164 cars was considerably above our expectations!

The most common question was when is the next one.
We hope to run another event based on the success of this one so be sure to like / follow the page and our Instagram for details.

Finally thank you to our marshals, the RAF Coltishall Heritage Centre volunteers and of course our good friends Javabean

Please do tag and share the photos and we will share more of your photos if you tag us when you post them.

Not long now until our first cars and coffee.
Please see the map and directions below in this post for joining us from 09:30 on Sunday 15th May.

Remember the meet is for pre 2000 classics (drivers and passengers) we are not able to admit members of the public to this private site.

We'll post a weather update on the morning as it's clear the Met office and every other forecaster are clearly unable to agree, so we'll go old school and look out the window (and check the weather radar). Hope to see as many of you as possible on Sunday.

Just over a week to go until our first cars & coffee at Coltishall and we can't wait! Hoping to host a wide variety of classic cars and bikes including a few VW buggies.

This is a free meet-up, no need to book but we do ask you to give what you can afford on the day to the Heritage centre who are our hosts and supported charity.

Unlike many events we are not open to the public so you need to be an owner of, or passenger in a pre 2000 classic to attend and be able to access the site. It's our only "rule" as such so please adhere to this and save us all any embarrassment at the gate.

If you have any questions please do message us ahead of the day and we'll do our best to respond fast.

Cars and Coffee needs both ingredients and our good friends Javabean are helping with the caffeine supply at our meetup on May 15th. Plus there is also a range of refreshments and maybe even some Bacon :) Full details available on our Facebook event.

Now for something completely different...
Inside the RAFSCHT heritage centre you can find some amazing pieces of military technology like this Vicon 18 reconnaissance pod made by Vinten. For those used to seeing the Vinten name in professional camera and broadcast equipment its an eye opener that their optical skills had many uses before the optical division became Thales Optronics.

This is just an example of the wealth of exhibits and knowledge at RAF Coltishall which you will be able to see on Sunday May 15th.

Like many of the cars attending this 1966 Ford Corsair V4 has quite the backstory.

Originally a gift to Norwich City College to help students studying automotive engineering it was never to be licensed. Luckily for us it is fully restored and on the road joining us for the morning.

If your vehicle has a story to tell let us know and you too could feature on our social media in the run up to our cars and coffee.

05/03/2022

The centre is open now for the 2022 season (Thursdays & Sundays) with a new Jet age room! Can't wait for our visit in May
