The Papplewick Pictures Thread

Fantastic day out, well worth the 21/2 hr drive. Met lots of lovely folk and saw some great cars.

Here are a few pics.

Big Thankyou to the organisers for putting this together

Thank you Astacus! Great photos of fantastic cars!

It was a really good meet. The rain held off until mid afternoon, and there were more cars there than I have seen certainly in the last three years. Sadly no early cars at all. The earliest was the third vixen series 2 off the production line. I was hoping we might have seen some 1800s or series ones, so I could check out some body dimensions.

There were some fantastic M series cars, including several 3000s cars. I ve never seen so many!

There were also, I think, 3 Tuscans.

I thought I had taken more photos, but appart from one or two engine bays, and some shots of assemblies I don't have, I must have spent more time jawing than photographing!

Yes, Fair cop

I was thinking about Vixens, as I had hoped to see an early vixen for comparison with my car

I know what you mean, was sad no Grantura's made it this year.

Who said reliability was not an issue?

Any chance of a scan of the article - suspect I've missed my chance to buy it.
