The Clan Owners’ Club is returning to Washington, County Durham on 2-3 July to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first Crusader coming off the production line.
The weekend is to be based at the Holiday Inn, close to the original factory building which still exists, and includes a parade of Clans starting from the hotel at around 10:30am on the Sunday and finishing at a large display area adjacent to the Galleries Shopping Centre.
All types of the critically acclaimed Imp-powered Clan – including the Irish version and the Alfasud-based Clover – will be involved and the COC is extending the invitation to other classic owners to join the display.
As club chairman Dave Williamson (above) explained: “The Clan Owners’ Club acknowledges the keen interest in the event shown by various Washington organisations and authorities, who see the Clan motor car as part of their heritage. Saturday evening will bring the members together for a dinner at the Holiday Inn where Paul Haussauer, the MD of the former Clan Motor Company, will be the main speaker.”
