 The Oxford Universities Motorsport Foundation has been a large source of strange situations in my life. Seeing a GT40 overtake a BMW 3.0 CSL into Copse on the Silverstone GP circuit is certainly another strange situation to add to my tally. To add to this madness, a small cohort of OUMF members and I were helping to run a Morris Minor Traveller! There is really only one event that could put me in this situation, and that is the famous and eclectic ‘Pomeroy Trophy’. Workshop Editor at Practical Classics magazine, Matt Tomkins, is the owner of the previously mentioned Morris Minor, and it is thanks to him that we got to experience the wackiness of the ‘Pom’. Having continually run since 1952, the ‘Pom’ aims to find the best touring car possible based on a series of tests, including braking, acceleration, agility, storage, and, of course, speed. Matt had the task of writing a full 7-page article on his experience competing in the event and wished for us to ‘prepare’ and look after the Morris Minor throughout the day.
