Evening all,

Visited the Callander Classic this morning - it's become a bit of a habit recently, as I've been going for the past three or four years. Two of which have been really, really wet and grim. Fortunately, today wasn't, which ensured a great turn out of cars.

Since I'm a Porsche fan, the big interest was the Porsche Club GB and TIPEC stands, featuring cars such as diverse as early 924s, 944 Cabriolets, a 928 GTS and even a 964 Speedster, one of about ten produced in RHD. This also explains why mostly all my photos are of Porsches.

Other cars included huge American barges and muscle cars, and the Scottish Micro Car Club was out in Messerschmitt-and-Bubble-Car force.

There was a little live action going on in the main arena - a team challenge, essentially a sort of mix of those relay races you did at school sports day and Autotesting. Odd, yes, but quite entertaining.

So to the photographs. Very few are of whole cars - I tried to pick out details which made each car special, as it were. Did I succeed? Let me know your views.

Cheers!

Iain

I really enjoyed it, although didn't enjoy siiting in the traffic jam on the way into Callander.

Does anyone know how much the Silver SL Merc went for, Im sure it was going to be in the auction??

Likewise Scott!

Do you have any details for Autoclasica (weblink or suchlike) as a web search isnt bringing up much ? Just ordered an X-Ost for my 348 so should be sounding a bit more 'ferrari-like' next time you see it!

Cheers

I had a good look around the cars on display on Sunday and what a wide range of levels of presentation were evident. I wasn't there by he time the best in show was announced, Anyone know what won the various catagories etc?
