I stood there drooling over the three Brookland 280 Capris on the Capri Club Stand......... ;D More top tin..... Oh look, it's mine!  Pair of Corsairs..  2-Door Cav...  5-Litre V8 Pop (god was this LOUD!)  french-spec Citroen Pallas...  Real tidy Mk1 Mini Pick-up  How many of these do you see?  Dunno if this is a deliberate rat-look or not......  FLAMES!  Yellow Peril (and it was for sale....)  Getting there was fun - one of the carb return springs broke en route and the engine was stuck on 4000 rpm idle speed! Quick repair took place with cardboard and insulation tape and it was OK-ish, just idling at 1800! (Note to self - buy a new set!) |

Ditto Mr B's comments, nice selection there. Would love to have come along as it's reasonably close, but only got back from hol's yesterday. I'll try for next year.
The Cavalier coupe gets my vote I think, though I spy a nice-looking FE Victor there too, and Corsairs make me smile (especially that saloon on Cosmics).
