First time i had been to this small country show, it turned out to be a little gem. The weather was kind to us all day, with warm sunshine. With 30 to 40 classics to look round it was a good days entertainment.

Appoligies for the quality of the pics as i forgot to take my camera, used mobile phone instead Confused

Some very good pictures there PA. I had a mini-van same colour as that one. Old English white, I think? Like the 16/60 Wolseley too, I used to love driving them when they were brand new, with plastic bags still on the seats. I can smell the leather now! I may have done the PDI and number plates on the FRC reg blue minor traveller. Amazing it is still going!! Happy days.

Nice pics Pa, your mobile takes good quality pics!
Exbmc that mini van isnt old english white, the old english white would look more like magnolia than white!!
By its looks I think its a latish van probably one of the last which would make it 1980ish!!
Some very nice and rare cars, wish we had such an assortment over here!!

Old English White had a very vague pink tinge - the other one was Snowberry White which had a slight green tinge. The van looks like Snowberry
