The 2011 NMCR - Photo Gallery
- Some of the cars seen at the 2011 Rally in Calne |
The National MicroCar Rally 2011 was organised by Jeff Ellis and the Bug Club, running from 1-4 September 2011, based at the Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum in Calne, Wiltshire.
The Saturday Road Run took the cars on a 50-mile 'treasure hunt' tour of the local area, with stops in the interesting villages of Lacock, Castle Coombe and Avebury.
This year's photos (below) show many of the cars attending. We had the biggest turnout for quite some years - a total of 163 microcars present at the show day on Sunday.
The weather was great - and people had FUN!
Shown below are many of the 163 microcars present at the 2011 NMCR, - but not all of them. If you have photos of any that we've missed (taken at the rally, please) - let us know!
Some aren't named - and others may be misnamed! If you can fill in or correct the details then, again, do let us know!

2011 Results!
And of course, at the end of the rally, the votes were counted and trophies presented to the winners in each category:

And, in closing the Rally, the organisers paid tribute to the work of Tony Marshall, Malcolm Thomas and Jean Hammond, who were the Rally's original organising team following Tony's inaugural rally in 1975.
The three of them went on to host several NMCRs and are still actively involved in the Microcar movement today.
This 2011 Rally, though, brought them together again for the first time in several years. We're all grateful to them for what they started!
Jean, Tony and Malcolm
