Oh, and I only made it on the list myself late last night (3 of us going, so spare ticket still needed), so haven't got the email, any chance someone can send it over?

Got here late but they said you had my extra ticket...hope so.

If not I'm hanging around the car park until 11. Stand near the mk2 golf by car park entrance and i'll come over.

Excellent event. Many thanks to all. Very nice coffee. Good to talk to Ollie – sorry you had problems on the BCC issue – it was no worries to us. I had great talks with E28 M5 owner Ian and E34 M5 owner Alan. And many others. Show very interesting. All those Ferraris look like they will take a long time to move on. My favourite car was the Bentley R Type Continental Fastback.

Some truly loveley looking cars on display,,and lots with eye watering price tags too!

Goody bag much appreciated,even the correct weather turned up albeit late.

As always a very enjoyable Sunday Service! Thanks PH!



Did anyone else think every other car at the show was an E-type? (Not that I am complaining smile )

Thanks to all involved, was a good morning all round.

Favourite car for me was the little white Fiat 595 Abarth. Beautiful and so tiny :-)

That and the F40 in my Xmas stocking please.

Many thanks PH great event.
That was some major fog though. Couldnt actually see Ally Pally until we were stood outside it!
Some beautiful machines inside....... All outside my pay grade but lovely to see.
Any one see the retro-perspecktive artist. They were fantastic creations, would look great in a man cave.

!st Sunday Service for me and thoroughly enjoyed it, as already mentioned it was particularly nice to meet Ollie.

The show was enjoyable but some thinking needs to be done by Classic & Sports Car regarding date, ticket price and content for next year, having said that I would happily attend again on the same basis as today.

A big thankyou to the whole PHSS team and I'm already looking forward to the next one I can attend.

Great morning. Thanks PH/Haymarket for the tickets. Was a nice little venue for the SS (in the thick fog) and coffee was particularly good!

The show itself was not something that I'd've ordinarily go to but I was really impressed with the variety and quality of cars on show, so much so that I think I'd actually spend my own money on it in the future! So on that basis, the free tickets did the trick!

Cheers all

You mean the guy sketching (with perfection) with a bic biro? Saw him sat in front of a Daytona sketching away - it was magic to watch...

Hi all

Thanks for the kind and positive comments, and it was great to meet you all today with some great cars in attendance.
The misty fog that welcomed us was just beyond our control I'm afraid but what glorious sunshine we had for the drive back, once it had lifted!!


Re: The bacon sandwiches.. I will do my utmost to make them a mandatory requirement for all future services. I was told a 'catering van' would be provided for us however I wasn't expecting a catering 'Tuk Tuk' smile

I'll be uploading the photos PH took over the next day or two, along with my review, so please share any that you took with us all.

Many thanks once again,

Ollie

I'm not sure. He had a stand in the first hall, far right corner. Had some nice Silver Arrows and Bentley paintings on wood and canvas. http://retro-perspektive.de/

Great morning, thanks to all that made it happen smile !
The show itself was good, although a little less of the trade stands and more cars on show not for sale would be an improvement.
Anyway a few pics...











Regards,
Matt

Ah no, this guy wasn't a trader, just a casual (but excellent) artist sketching away..
