Favourite bit; The Gardner-Douglas GDT70. Gorgeous. Beautifully built. Scarily quick (probably!)
Was that the white one? (ahem) I'd assumed it was some Ginetta that I'd never seen before. Got a nice shot of it leaving Clophill later the same day. Probably doesn't catch fire as often as those Lambos. </flamesuit> wink

Just had a look at the 'Ring video: the closing speed on lesser cars is amazing. And that guy can drive.redface

Fame at last!

(Sadly, it's the Westie that's mine - the Atom belongs to a mate.)

Nice pictures - thanks!

(I didn't bother bringing a camera this time - I knew the thing would be photographed to death!)

So many great cars, from the very glam to the more humble. Car of the day for me was the restored blue Mini (honourable mention for the yellow Ginetta parked out of the way). Swung by the Mini several times, hoping to chat to the owner, but never managed it. Hope to see it/you again! smile
Thanks for noticing it! smile

Alex L, no worries about your AMG, you were put there to hide my Chevette rear lights smile

Took a few snaps - many Ginettas (IMvHO) aren't half as pretty.

Ok, here are a few of my snaps from the day

So many gorgeous cars on display so kudos to everyone.

I think that my personal cars of the day were the Purple XE mini on throttle bodies and the stupendously clean Mk1 escort. beautiful examples of old skool cool smile
