STOC visit to Schloss Dyck, Jüchen, Germany. 3rd/4th August

[Tomaselli]

Earlier this month a few took a trip out to the Schloss Dyck, situated at Jüchen in Germany. Many will think what is and why this event, but just think of Goodwood Revival in the very early years. A smaller, less crowded affair to watch some beautiful period machinery in a fine country setting. Schloss Dyck castle itself has history dating back to the 11th century, a very fine and fitting location.

A relatively short trip into Europe basting in temperatures of 39 degrees celsius when we arrived from the UK, it proved a real mini-test for the 50th tour to Cannes next year but it was also an opportunity to make friends with fellow minded ‘Sunbeam’ enthusiasts from Switzerland, Germany and beyond.....

In the group tour we had, 21 Tigers, 8 Alpines, 2 Gilberns, 1 XK120 and a few moderns for Tiger owners also joining us. A great turnout from all over Europe!!

A few pics selected, and more can be found on my online album, Link Here

Can’t wait to meet more friendly European Sunbeam owners in Europe for the 50th celebrations next year

Thanks of course to Marie Loxston and Markus Steininger for helping this STOC event take part, a full report coming in CATS Whiskers.

Thanks for taking the time to post all the photo's. Very interesting when living in this part of the world.
I hope you put your top up before going through the Tiger wash

Hi Mal. managed to keep the top down all the way into Europe and back. Wasn't a huge distance at just over 1000 miles but did notice this time fuel pump prices on the continent no way as cheap (compared to the UK) as they used to be



Though was tempted by the car wash, even just to cool down in that serious heat
