TIPEC SCOTLAND
JUNE 2014 MONTHLY MEETING MINUTES.

Welcome to everyone to this month's meeting 30 bodies and a few Porkers in the car park at Bill Dalgetty's vintage and classic car restorations . This event was instead of the normal Boness Motor Museum monthly meet. Bill had on display at various stages of repair and restoration many classic cars in vintage and classic Porsche inc 2 x 356s from the 50s and 60s era plus a 1985 911 Carrera and a 924 Martini shell all currently being restored. This was an evening whereby we had a talk on the history of a very special race car form the 1940's and Bill himself did some demo metal work on the wheelie machine to which many questions etc were asked and answered. A lovely buffet and drinks were provided also to help the evening along so all in all a very different club night and a chance to see some very different cars including Porsche's being restored back to there former glory. Many thanks to Bill and the team for a very enjoyable evening and the buffet with home cooking went down a treat I have to say.
