Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

The Norfolk Jaguar Drivers Club hosted a classic car evening at Felthorpe Airfield near Norwich on 24th June. There was a good and very varied turn out of around 80 cars. Attendees included a 1930 Bugatti, a Packard Super 8, Bristol 401, 1020 RR Silver Ghost and a Model T Bus. There were also a good selection of TR's and MG and Jags. Probably the most unusual visitor was a Bedford TJ. Oh and there was a Gordon Keeble !

Hi
HKW422 is a Bristol 401.
Register shows it as Brown/Bronze and running but under major repair/restoration, so it looks as if this has now been done with a colour change.

The 402s were convertible only model.

Thanks for putting me straight Penman. I have corrected the captions on both shots in Flickr. I believe the car has only recently been acquired by the present owner but I can confirm it is absolutely gorgeous. It won the post war concourse award at the Felthorpe event.
