Looks like we Southerners missed a treat. Who's is the very nice green M (4th photo down the URLs), unusual colour, looks like one I viewed when it was for sale in the Watford area about 20 years ago, if it's the same car that was a 2500M rebuild, Mallard (or Teal ?) green, black interior and had stove-enamelled wheels at that time.

OK answered my own question about the green M, it wasn't the one I had in mind, found my old files it was YWL976K (Chassis # 2315TM), and it was Knutsford not Watford (darned passage of time). Wonder where it is now ? If you're the current owner you can have the pics I took at that time for your archives.

The standard of cars at todays meeting was excellent...concours winners:

3rd place went to Craig Polly with his red 2500M
2nd place went to Martin Cliffe with his platinum silver griffith 400
1st place went to Jacky Polly with her blue 1800S

Top result for the Polly family...well done.

Thanks for coming everyone.

Great turn out guys, I could have stayed all day just taking pictures but we had a Chimaera meet which needed some good looking cars.

I took 93 photos in less than an hour! The better ones are posted here, but only feature a couple of cars.

No apologies for the picture of the pair of 90's Griffiths

My favourite picture by a mile is this...

And excellent as well.

didn't realise my car would generate as much interest as it did. If I'd know that I would have parked it down at the bottom of the hill.

I enjoyed the event, and have even dug out my pistonheads login to say so. Some of the pictures are awesome, especially the B&W ones.

Now I'm going to PM scissorhands83 to get my smokey departure off his phone and onto my PC
