Well, the weather must have put a lot of people off!

A lot of Austin Cambridges (and their Morris, MG, Riley and Wolseley 'brothers') were there, but probably only 30 other cars: a mixture of ancient and modern.

Two R8s (Nightfire 214 and gold 216) plus a rather nice Nightfire 620 SLi with an asking price of £1300 and a very nice 820 Vitesse in a dark metallic red (Bolero?).

The rain stopped by midday and the sun finally came out at around 2.30 :cool
