Dear All, It appears that I am the first one to get back from the show and to sit down in front of his PC...
WOW! What a day. The weather was marvellous, there were 1940s fighters doing scary acrobatics overhead, and the turnout was fantastic. Whilst I didn't actually count all the cars, and I have probably missed a fair few, I would estimate: 10 x TR3 5 x TR4/4A 1 x TR250 5 x TR6 5 x TR7 2 x TR8 20 x Stags 60 x Spitfires (Spitfire 4 to 1500) 30 x Heralds (948 to 13/60; all body shapes except Estates) 30 x Vitesses (All types) 30 x GT6s (All types) 30 x Miscellaneous 1960s/70s Saloons (from 1300 to 2.5PI) 1 x Triumph Acclaim (in absolutely shocking nick) 1 x Triumph Roadster 1 x Triumph Renown 1 x Triumph Mayflower 1 x Triumph Dolomite (1936 version...) 1 x 1930s Triumph van 1 x Triumph Gloria Vitesse 1 x Triumph Gloria Sportsman 12 x Non-Triumph cars There were cars that looked as though they were unlikely to go another five miles without body panels falling off, and cars that looked as though they had never, ever, gone five miles - and everything in between. It was great to meet so many list members, but to those of you who came up and introduced yourselves, and went on to say "Of course, I hardly ever post...", START POSTING! Please share your experiences - good or bad. The judging was done by the entrants/visitors, and was extremely fair and reasonable (i.e., most of the cars I voted for won!). The immaculate, gorgeous, mint condition two-tone green Vitesse that won Best Vitesse, BTW, was a *daily driver*. Dammit, it can be done... it will be done!
