Since the beginning of the eighties, sportscar owners in the Skien area in Telemark have been running an informal club. We meet once a month, just to chat, watch a vide, take the cars for a spin or make trips to races in Norway or Sweden. Some races their cars in the Norwegian roadsport championship.

The cars are mainly the classics from Britain, including TVR, Marcos GT and an Aston Martin DBS V8.  But also Alfa Romeos and Porsches. It's just to pull in. More info on the links page or on the club's site (in Norwegian)
