Great day. Even better turnout this year, so everyone was saying:

Excellent showing from club members and other arrivals from all over the country:

Although I wasn't too sure about this one. I think I've correctly spotted a "cut 'n shut." Or if Rover did in fact make official R8 trailers, they should have used the advertising strapline "The Rover 200. It's a car and a half." The ultimate question, of course, is whether the owner has wired up the rear windscreen wiper and demister as well. I never asked.

Some other two-tone cars produced at Longbridge:

And an all-original Rover 12:

Official numbers are over 4200 participants :clapping

Up 1280 on last year and to be honest looking at the 360 degree tour, i've never seen the park so full

Thanks for these pics - I'm sure there'll be more to come.

Didn't spot the trailer - wish I had as it looks brill.

I've shared both the aerial drone footage ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o3swqq6Ey4 ) and the panoramic shot ( http://ukuavs.co.uk/pol.html) from the POL facebook page on our club Facebook page - they're well worth a look. Spot your car!

What an amazing day. Like the aerial footage gives an idea of how big and important this event has become.
