Well, what a day. the weather held out for us. and the work we put in to our stand paid off. We spent the last 4 months setting up this event, and what happened, we won 2nd prize. So 1st of all thanks to the participants. In no particular order Pete and Joan for the XK150, Arthur and Doris for the hybrid Mark 1 ( for the technical ones a rebodied Mk8. Fort the full story on this car see this months Classic and Sportscar ) Brian Perkins for the Mk 5, Brian Horspool for the E Type, Bob and Beryl Brown  for the beautiful Van Den Plas Daimler XJ6, Ernie and Janet for the new (very New) S type Diesel, and Stuart Wright for the beautiful (if that the right word) XJ8 hearse not forgetting Mark and Liz for the Austin J2 (it keeps turning up!!). The theme of the stand was "Hatch, Match and Dispatch", and with everyone dressed in period clothes (including me and Carol as Mum and Dad) it was a fabulous day. Now for the people involved. Carol and I stood in as the happy parents. Our son (William) as the couple getting married were Allan and Gillian. Us in the 1970's were John and Anne. us as middle aged were Bob And Beryl and Ernie and Janet were the funeral directors at my cremation. We were all delighted with the prize and insisted Carol, who had done most of the work (including making  the outfits) went up to receive the prize from Sir Stirling Moss.
