Good morning John, 'Vixen' is a stunner, Steve and yourself have done her proud. I am sorry, I won't be able to attend the National and see her in the flesh. A great photo of 'Vixen' and I like the write up you have done about her.

Here are a few photos from the National at Gaydon in 2014, showing the launch cars.

It is my ambition to have a launch car but the best are expensive and poor ones are money pits. I saw Tim Spencer’s car a few months before he sold it. It was in bits getting a full resto and you could tell it was just a much much better car than later ones. Quality everywhere.

Love that line up of launch cars, although the back of D3 MGA is a bit too "Halfords" for me.
