English Olds clubs?

I am temporarily living in England and curious if there is a classic Olds club here. Does anyone have any recollection of one before I start an internet search? I may decide to bring my '72 Cutlass convertible over here and sell it.

I know big classic American cars are HUGE in Sweden. My English friend says not so much in Great Brittan... taxes, petrol whatnot.

UK road taxes

The annual "road tax" here (instead of renewing license plates) is calculated based on engine size. Not a real big deal for my 1600 cc Vauxhall Astra, but my 5700 cc Cutlass would be a bigger thing! This is only time I'm glad I don't have the 455 (7500 cc's)

And yes...petrol is just over 1 pound a litre now. That works out to about US$7.60 for a US gallon. Just for trivia, a US gallon is 3.8 liters; an Imperial gallon is 4.5 litres. (another reason why cars here get more miles per gallon)
