2023 - The Register held our usual formal gathering under the Oak Tree, VSCC Vintage Prescott, Sunday 6th August 2023, and our annual Autumn Social & AGM.

We are very sad to confirm that Desmond Peacock, President of the Register has died. He passed away peacefully during the morning Saturday 10th December. Desmond was a lovely, gentle, generous and a very knowledgeable gentleman who helped many in their quest to own, restore and enjoy their Amilcars. His contribution to the Register and to members worldwide was immense. He will be sorely missed.
