Thanks Richard for organising it and some photos of the day;

I was hoping to go to this along with Foggyjames but unfortunately his 345 started mixing vital fluids and by the time we'd finished playing with it time had marched on. I'm especially gutted now that I've seen it was the cl25 out to play on the line!

Thanks Rupert, you'll be even more gutted to discover Roger had a cab ride in the class 25 both ways ! ( Let me know when you are down this way next at a weekend & I'll see what I can arrange for you. ) Sorry to hear about Foggy's problem.
Not a bad turn out considering lack of advertising, best motor for me was the V90 in special edition paint finish, only Volvo of that colour in the UK, owned by a former Volvo test driver. 3rd one along in Roger's first photo.
The site was absolutely over run by Moggie Minors, and excellent examples at that, together with Capris. A good day had by all. Looking forward to next year's event.
Regards, Richard.
