THIRD FOOTMAN JAMES COFFEE & CHROME EVENT CONFIRMED FOR CHATEAU IMPNEY RETURN

THIRD FOOTMAN JAMES COFFEE & CHROME EVENT CONFIRMED FOR CHATEAU IMPNEY RETURN

Building on the growing popularity of its first two events, Footman James is proud to announce that the next Coffee & Chrome meeting will take place at Chateau Impney, Droitwich, on Sunday 15 September.

Attendance more than doubled between the first and second meets, so capacity will once again be capped to 500 vehicles. The Footman James team opens the gates from 9am to a huge variety of interesting machinery, including vintage, classics, supercars, bikes and military, ensuring that there is something to interest everyone – including a free bacon sandwich on entry (a maximum of two per car).

“We can’t wait to once again fill the iconic Chateau Impney venue with an extraordinarily diverse range of vehicles,” said David Bond, Footman James Managing Director. “We were staggered by the turn-out for our previous meetings, with visitors enjoying the all-marques policy where million-pound Aston Martins rub shoulders with early-80s hot hatch heroes. We are proud that Coffee & Chrome is rapidly becoming a ‘must attend’ date in enthusiasts’ diaries.” 

There is no segmentation at the meeting, which encourages a fascinating mix of vehicles, complemented by a small selection of traders and club displays. Due to previous high demand, Footman James encourages those interested in attending the meeting to secure their place via its website www.footmanjames.co.uk/blog/coffee-chrome-september-2019. Places are strictly offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

FOOTMAN JAMES TO SPONSOR PETROLICIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO AT DRIVERS' MEETING

FOOTMAN JAMES TO SPONSOR PETROLICIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO AT DRIVERS' MEETING

Visitors to the Petrolicious Drivers’ Meeting will have the chance to have their car professionally photographed at the Footman James Photography Studio by two leading Petrolicious snappers on Sunday 12th May.

Traditionally only reserved for the cars and stars of the Petrolicious website and social media pages, which currently have over one million fans combined, the team have decided to offer dedicated 30-minute, one-on-one photo shoots for pre-booked attendees of the inaugural Drivers’ Meeting against the backdrop of Bicester Heritage.

Pre-booking for the Footman James Photography Studio is essential to avoid disappointment and the remaining 30-minute slots with Petrolicious photographers, Will Broadhead and Scott Paterson, are available directly via Petrolicious’ website and Eventbrite. Owners will have a selection of digital images sent to them on the same day, with each shoot costing £60.00.

Petrolicious is a leading automotive lifestyle brand providing world-class short films and tasteful editorial around the world's finest classic vehicles. It has partnered with leading classic and collector insurance specialists Footman James to offer these once-in-a-lifetime photographic shoots.

Discussing the partnership and studio, Footman James Managing Director, David Bond said, “I can’t think of another media house or team that could bring such an amazing event to the UK, nor offer the opportunity to capture the moment of cars attending the Drivers’ Meeting at the unmistakable Bicester Heritage Technical Site. We can’t wait to see the final results and see them printed and displayed by their owners at home and on social media.”

This is the first European event for the Californian-based Petrolicious team. Expect hundreds of hand-picked cars to be showcased at the meeting, all in their own way representing the ethos of Petrolicious’ Drive Tastefully motto. Some of the vehicles include the recently restored Colin McRae Prodrive Subaru Impreza rally car, the first ever Williams Formula One race car transporter and race cars, plus a special line-up of Ferraris, Le Mans cars and a collection of 1989 classics that will be celebrating their 30th birthday, as well as the Singer Dynamics and Lightweight Study test mule.

Please note that all visitors will need an admission ticket alongside passes to the Footman James Photography Studio. A small number of on-the-day Photography Studio slots are available, although all interested parties are recommended to pre-book in the first instance.

Once a time has been confirmed it’s advised to arrive at the location with the vehicle at least ten minutes before the shoot’s due to start.

The Drivers’ Meeting event is open to anyone who wants to attend, and tickets for non-Petrolicious members are £12.50 plus booking charge if paid in advance, or £20 on the door, with children under 16 available to come free of charge.

FOOTMAN JAMES ANNOUNCES NEW CLASSIC VEHICLE MEET FOR 2019: COFFEE & CHROME

FOOTMAN JAMES ANNOUNCES NEW CLASSIC VEHICLE MEET FOR 2019: COFFEE & CHROME

Footman James’s Coffee & Chrome meets aim to bring together enthusiasts and their classic cars and bikes from all makes, marques and eras over a hot drink and a free bacon butty. There will also be a number of specialist classic traders in attendance for visitors to browse, when they can tear themselves away from admiring the classics on display!

Coffee & Chrome will be taking place throughout 2019 on selected Sunday mornings, with the first taking place at Chateau Impney in Droitwich – the home of Chateau Impney Hill Climb. Chateau Impney is steeped in motoring heritage with the first hill climb taking place over 50 years ago, making this the perfect backdrop for the meet.

This event builds upon the success of Footman James’s sold out Drive-It Day in April, hosted at the Chateau, which saw over 30 classic vehicles travel in convoy through the beautiful Cotswold countryside. Participants came with their Jaguar E-types, Porsche Boxsters, Triumph Spitfires, MGAs, Cobras, Nortons and Harley Davidsons – so expect to see a similarly eclectic mix of vehicles at Coffee & Chrome!

The first Coffee & Chrome meet is taking place on Sunday 6th January 2019 between 10am and 1pm. The meet is free to attend; however, space is limited to 200 vehicles, so participants are asked to register online on the Footman James website (footmanjames.co.uk/classichub) to confirm their place.

Further dates for Coffee & Chrome will be announced in the new year. Follow Footman James on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or subscribe to their newsletter to stay updated.
