I wasn't sure what to expect, I have to say, because advertising was lacking this year, however, this show really has found its feet and the turnout was very impressive. Huge variety, great weather and even some RR regulars in Mr Hirst, MorrisOxide, Pete and Dugong. I'm not going to subject y'all to the full 100-odd pics, but instead, heres a little overview.                       The whole album is here, if anyone fancies a peruse. I know they all look a little dark around the edges, perhaps I had the camera on the wrong setting :oops: , I'm sure Jon will be along shortly with some smarter images though... |

Looks like a great show. Thanks for sharing pictures with us. Full of win.   This is rather tasty.  I'm not sure what this is, a Reliant Rebel perhaps?  |

We had a good talk to the chap with the Marina Coupe. Its got quite an interesting history, unfortunately none of it documented. Its got an Ital front end treatment and Dolly sprint running gear. All the bodykit it steel and very well fitted. It seems it was built for timetrial/road rallys as it had timing gear and such built into it. A proper weapon  I quite liked the Harlequin 944, made us smile anyway. EDIT because of my awful spelling and grammar when in a rush  |

That black Marina looks like the car Morris *should* have made. More things like that in the 70s and we might still have a Morris today. I liked the Harlequin too, playful and whimsical, you can never have enough of that.

LOL No, seriously, it was really nice. The Sierra was special, the chap had owned it since it was a year old and its never even had a bulb in it. There is still a NOS clutch cable under the seat as he bought it for towing and liked to be prepared. German built being a 2.3, and well specced with a manual box and PAS. |
