Well once again the weather held and we had an excellent meet & I feel sorry for those who were unab;e to make it, I did wear my hat tis time so no sunburnt head, we had a few other cars that were made at longbridge under the aegis of BMC I believe so I hope these pics of them some still works in progress bring back fond memories for some of our mature members, one of the truimphs reall was found in a barn under a tarpaulin !!

Enjoy hope to see you all next month
