David Bater of the 406 Coupé Club said: "This special birthday meet at Beaulieu is shaping up to be the biggest ever, even beating the French 406 Coupé club’s record. We already have over 70 cars signed up, coming fromFrance and Holland as well as theUK, and are hoping the final total may reach 100."
406 Coupé owners wishing to participate in the meet should arrive at the Beaulieu attraction from 10am, no pre-booking is required.
In addition to the meet, there is the whole Beaulieu attraction to enjoy, including the National Motor Museum with its collection of over 250 vehicles plus World of Top Gear, Palace House, home of the Montagu family, and Beaulieu Abbey ruins.
