Just realised I booked in the 420 under it's Northern Ireland (private) registration but I've since had it re-christened with its original L reg.

Best take both V5s and the retention certificate, lest I get mugged off by a jobsworth...

First photo of the day - my patented panorama. I call it "On the verge of the 200/400 series" - my attempt at a play on words, like the best Rover advertising strap lines.

The picture link is full res and is 1080 high by 4060 pixels wide if anybody wants it for posterity, just right-click on the picture and choose save.

Thank you to everyone involved in planning and organising today, a great show as always.

And thank you to everyone who brought their cars along - I counted 55 cars altogether in the club area, of all variants that the club covers - an excellent turn out!

Really enjoyed today’s show. Must say in my year so far in the club everyone has been very friendly and welcoming!

Also, thank you to all who voted for Harry the 214SEI today! Humbled and appreciative.

Just to reinforce Paul's thanks - it was great to see so many good looking cars and happy owners at the show yesterday.

It does take a bit of time and effort to get things sorted so that the event runs this well but it's worth it when it does.

The sun coming out helps too :D

More pics to follow, I'm sure.
