Mermaid Classic Run
Why Mermaid Classic.
Well just look at our logo! What a classic! It could almost be the emblem on the front of a classic car! This event is the chance to ride on the crest of a wave of nostalgia and get hose classic cars out there where they belong - on the road and being used.
Type of event
The Mermaid Classic is run under a “Certificate of Exemption” permit from the MSA . It is non-competitive and
open to anyone who wishes to take part. Priority is given to classic car entrants but there is no 'snobbery' surrounding what is and what is not a classic car. If you enjoy your car, and wish to join in this relaxed, 'grand day out' we will welcome you. After a brief car and insurance check at the start venue, you will be issued with a number and a 'tulip' diagram roadbook (tulip comes from the rally that first used this method of describing routes) that will take you via some of the most scenic parts of the Lincolnshire countryside to a lunch halt and on to the finish and afternoon tea. Total mileage is approximately 120 miles. After a short briefing, cars leave at minute intervals at 10am onwards so that they are reasonably spread out.
The lunch stop for approximately one hour is usually taken where there is access to toilet facilities and a shop of some sort. This is a chance to get out the picnic basket and socialise with other classic car owners or even get the polish out!
Spectating
We normally keep the route a surprise for entrants, but the start, lunch and tea halts will be published on this site. Come along and have a look at the cars and talk to their owners.
