RREC - The International Club for Rolls-Royce & Bentley Enthusiasts

19/05/2025

The RREC East Midlands Section hosted their fabulous Wings & Wheels event over the weekend, celebrating all things Rolls-Royce Motors and Aero Engines. The pinnacle of the event was displaying 44 Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles, spanning from 1922 to 2008 in the Market Square in Derby, which saw thousands of local residents flock to see these incredible cars.

Write-ups of this event will follow in Spirit & Speed and the next edition of the Yearbook, but we wanted to take this opportunity to thank the East Midlands Section for organising such a fantastic event, and promoting the Club in such a positive way.

Featured as Member's Car of the Month in the latest edition of Spirit & Speed is Rob Ward's stunning 1965 Silver Cloud III, chassis no. SKP53.

Despite having only owned the car for a year, for Rob, his Silver Cloud is a childhood dream come true. "I have wanted to own a car like this for 40 years," Rob said. "I had pictures of cars like this on my bedroom wall as a child, so to own this car is really special."

A couple of weeks ago, the Paulerspury Section enjoyed a superb day out in Great Dunmow, visiting our friends at P&A Wood.

The tour included the workshop and showrooms, and Members were delighted to see a range of fabulous cars, including the Wood family's DeCauville, which took pride of place in the celebration tent at the RREC Annual Rally 2024.

Our Members always enjoy visiting P&A Wood, so we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for being so hospitable.

Thanks to Steven Murray for sharing these photos.

Last month, 17 Members of the West Midlands Section visited the Wedgwood factory, where they enjoyed an interesting tour of the facility. This included an explanation of how Jasper- and China-wear are manufactured, fired and decorated, and Members were particularly interested to see items that were finished with 22 carat gold.

Thanks to Bob Hughes for sharing these photos with us.

On 5 April, the RREC French Section held their General Assembly. The participants met in the prestigious setting of the Cercle de l'Union Interalliée, located right next to the British Embassy and a few steps from the Elysée Palace.

The board of directors presented its 2024 review and its plans for 2025 before proceeding to the vote, following which it was re-elected.

The French Section's President, Pascal de La Morinerie, has therefore been reappointed for a second term at the head of the French section.

The evening continued with a champagne aperitif offered by our sponsor V***e Clicquot in the gardens of this 18th-century mansion in bright sunshine and unusually warm weather for the season, and ended with a gourmet dinner in the magnificent dining rooms for the forty or so guests present.

The French Section is now ready to roll out its programme of outings for the year 2025, which will begin on 26 April with a lunch at the Manoir de Verzy, near Reims.
