Unfortunately missed the 7am start due to late running busses in my area, but got there by about twenty past and stayed until the end, some fantastic vehicles, favourites for me were the Darracqs and De Dion Boutons, so no apologies for lots of photos of these!

Fabulous!

Thank you for taking the time to post these - this for me is what its all about, classics out on the road recreating an era long gone.

I wonder what the equivalent of our modern day "ricer" would have been back then - one of those "new fangled" racey Renaults I shouldn't wonder!

Things haven't changed much then, have they. Wink
