In 1985 the 96 Club amalgamated with” Le Club des Soixante-douze Heures”. This Club was solely formed for the enjoyment of ‘le 24 Heures du Mans’. The Headquarters was in the K.L.G. Pit at the Le Mans Circuit and a condition of being elected a member was that you had to be willing to help before, during and after ‘The Race’ – such as bar duties, score board, sweeping out, cooking, setting up and dismantling the pit and any other job requested by the President, Monsieur Herve Coatalen, or his wife.
A member also had to have at least one K.L.G. ‘bougie’ actually in use in the engine of his motor car – or - they had to immediately forfeit one bottle of Champagne to be drunk by all members present. Many of the British racing drivers of this époque were members of this extremely exclusive club.
There have been many imitators of Michael Scott’s brilliant idea, but the 96 Club was the first and remained the leading club for owners of high performance cars, modern or classic until the late 90s.
At present, the 96 Club is concentrating on holding entirely informal monthly gatherings, sensational drives and trackdays. The 96 Club is also organising Classic Car Displays and events at various locations in and around London, including the London Concours at the exclusive Hurlingham Club, the Silverstone Classic Car Event and at Wilton House Classic Rendezvous & Supercars event and the Bahama’s Speed Week at the end of the year.
In the last years the club has been focusing on what has become one of the best Classic Car Show of the year, the Belgravia Classic Car Show.
