Were you there in a grey 450? I went down today in my chim. Good variety of cars on show.

Edit, just clicked on your profile. I see it was you, lovely colour.

Had a brief chat with the very nice chap that owns this;


If I had the £££, I probably would have taken it off his hands on the spot smile

What colour is it? Not one from the regular palette I don't think but it really worked very well IMO thumbup

I quite liked the unrestored Alfa Junior that was parked under the tree but £19k was a bit strong I thought yikes

It's ash green. You don't see too many of them in that colour. Those alfas are pretty but I can think of better things for the money.

I made the error of trying to leave when it started to rain. I travelled ten feet in 30 mins and then gave up and went to have a cup of tea.

Getting in and out was a total PITA so bad dont know if I would go again. Getting out 20 army cadets all standing under the trees letting everyone fight it out !!

Highlight for me were '3 Ferraris' 2360 replicas and a 355 replica - os so bad.

Interestingly the 355 rep was taxed as MR2 but the 360 replicas were taxed as Ferrari - they werent so how does that work??

Bruce, perhaps they may have had 'Fake' tax disc for show purposes?,apart from that dunno how they can register a Kit Car as a Ferrari unless they were official re-creations of which I doubt..
