…for all those interested in any aspect of motoring history
The latest Science Museum Library newsletter by email, January 2010, notes a new digitisation project for the vast trade literature collection, and a free bus ride system on Tuesdays from Swindon station to the museum and library site at Wroughton. It’s good to see these developments coming out from the revamped library service. To receive the newsletter email cate.watson@sciencemuseum.org.uk

25 April 2010, Drive It Day
To commemorate the first Thousand Mile Run, each year the aim of the FBHVC’s Drive It Day is to get as many historic vehicles out on the roads as possible. There is a list of events on www.fbhvc.co.uk or just use your classic vehicle instead of more modern transport, and do consider offering a passenger ride to those not fortunate enough to own anything historic – it might just ignite a spark of interest.
