Just checked this evening and parking is £1.00 for any period between dawn and dusk on the same day.

It's Pennington flash country park - Google produces lots of results and here is one http://www.wlct.org/leisure/parks/pa....htm#pennflash as a taster.

Only drawback is parking there is by pay & display though it is a big, big car park.

If it is thought viable as a venue I'll pop round one day, look at the parking charges then post them here - It's not expensive though IIRC.

I know it's not Cheshire but close by and there are facilities there to keep your Mrs & kids occupied.

Assuming I'm not working ( NHS - awkward shifts ) I'll certainly be there.
Maybe then I'll find out about the 4 or 5 other nice 240's I see round Leigh as I could post a notice on the Leighlife website.

BTW my 1988 240 Auto passed its MOT today first take - few minor advisories that are not expensive and will be dealt with.
The wiper arm scratch on the passenger side windscreen ( see my post earlier this year ) wasn't even mentioned.
Whoopee!!!!

I really want to get the old wentworth looking A1...she really is a tidy beast and she has just settled in after the euro trip( wife driving )..
