Some of the more exotic vintage cars will be at Ufford this Saturday including a few of the big early Bentleys. Its the annual meet up, why not pop over and see how Pistonheaders done it in the old days.
White Lion pub from 11.00am

Its an annual meet, I went for first time last year and apparently its always held first weekend of April. It is the same meeting with about 50/60 vintage cars turning up and of course those lovely Bentleys. The pub gives over a small field adjoined to the pub who set up a good barbi to go with the beer. Its a tiny place Ufford so can only be thee same meeting.Yes its right next door to Woodbridge.

Ah yes that'll be one i missed you at last year because i was looking for a Bayliss Thomas, and you tuned up in your Austin.
Sods law this weekend is one of the Ginetta 50th bashes at Cadwell, there's some good historic racing at Snetterton all weekend (but with the stuff i like on the saturday), and this show which i really enjoyed last year, with a great selection of proper vintage cars...... now i've just got to make my mind up which one to go to frown

I'm going to be dropping down there, as I only live in Woodbridge! How do I spot a fellow PH'er then?

Is this one yours then?



Looked around to see an owner near, but you must have been distracted by the bar of the bar-b-q wink

Sorry to have missed you Chris,most likely I was hiding behind the enormous beefbuger I bought for lunch. Yes thats my old bus, unfortunately the carb' kept icing up causing all the misfiring popping and general poor health of the engine.
Cracking good meet at Ufford and lovely cars that are not seen often enough.
