TeamVAM - Very Amateur Motorsport (48)

In Support of Parkinsons UK & the 2025 Round Britain Reliability Run

THE CHALLENGE:

Club Triumph has organised a Round Britain tour in aid of various charities every two years since 1966 raising almost £900,000 along the way.

This year's supported charity, Parkinson's UK, is one that has personal significance to Team VAM member Shaun and family as on January 26th 2025, his Mother, Jean Roche Sandbach lost her spirited battle with Parkinson's Disease.

Team VAM, comprising John Welsh, renown Classic Triumph Hill Climb and Sprinter Hamish Roscoe and Shaun Roche will campaign this year's event in a 1983 Triumph Acclaim; that's almost 2000 miles in 48 hours from Knebworth up to John O'Groats then down to Land's End finishing back in Knebworth in a 42 year old Triumph!

What better way to raise money for this fantastic organisation than to combine their love of driving with a chance to raise money in Jean's name.

Whether they'll still have that love of driving after the event is another matter!

All costs for food, fuel and maintenance will be met by the crew, not the charity - unlike other fundraising platforms, 100% of all funds raised through Just Giving actually go to Parkinson's UK.

Thanks for getting this far - we hope you are inspired to make a donation to this enormously worthy cause!

Cheers,

Shaun, John and Hamish.

Sponsor Team VAM and honour Jean's legacy by supporting Parkinson's UK.

Together, let's drive towards a cure!

The Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run leaves Knebworth House on Friday 3 October, travelling north to John O'Groats before turning south to Lands End and finishing back at Knebworth House on Sunday 5 October, this promises to be a spectacular weekend of motoring adventures featuring great cars, people, roads and scenery.

From the first event in 1966 the Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run is unchanged in its objective to drive around Britain, covering nearly 2000 miles visiting control stops staffed by Club Triumph marshals in 48 hours with no overnight stops. The event is sanctioned by the UK Motor Sports Association and fulfils all the criteria expected of a Touring Assembly.
