Felixstowe car show....

I was sat in the pub over the road !!

The chap that owns this car does some serious travelling in it.
There is barely a show within 150 miles of his home that he doesn't attend. .... Good on him too ! ( lovely bloke also).

So are we looking for British cars that are underappreciated and have perhaps fallen off the radar ?

If so I suggest in alphabetical order from A to E :-

Allard
Armstrong Siddeley
Berkeley
Bond
Britannia
Costin
Dellow
Elva

Not all of them are great but they are British.

Well here is the Bond
Certainly an interesting concept not at the front of the Queue when looks where being given out but certainly sold so many loved them.

Berkley T60 from earlier this year.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rochdale cars yet!

Most famous for their Olympic model, but they made quite a few different cars over the years!!

I owned one of these briefly, mine was based on a herald but I believe most had ford running gear. Falcon Caribbean ....

I have to admit I'd never seen one before. I see you're in Kent. It was at the Dering Arms, Pluckley. 2nd Sunday, @ 11.30/12, well worth a visit as on a nice day there'll probably be something unusual as well as the MGs etc. I think a French (iirc) fire engine was the oddest so far although an Amilcar and a Simplex come to mind.

Paul has just got in before I was about to post this photo taken at Gaydon last month. When did you last see 3 Pipers together?

Not really forgotten, but one can never miss an excuse for a photo of Eastleigh's finest. On the roundabout at Southampton Airport there is a model of a Spitfire (Supermarine, not Triumph!), but I think that below it there should be a model of a Gordon Keeble to celebrate the airport being the original site of the factory.
