Rather than rely on chance why not actually buy and restore a car? The Club would then have an appreciating tangible asset to partner the Robin Hood which could be used in a similar way. Seems a very judicious way to invest members money to me.
This was raised at the AGM (by, I think David Hemmings?) on Sunday to widespread approval. Funnily enough, I raised this informally with some of the Board on Friday night and I think they thought I was joking! I think it is a fabulous idea, particularly whilst the Club is in a sound financial position. Whether I would personally choose a 928 as the Club's next vehicle is a different question though!
I will ensure this is looked into further.
