Anybody going?
I'm either going with shy forum member Ken Page in his 1947 Jag or if another friend manages to get a ticket to me I'll turn up in my own car.

Selkirk is getting better year by year. It used to be simply big. Today it was big but there was also quite lot of unusual vehicles on show.
Can you guess the manufacturer of the first car? The last image is its interior and will supply the answer.

Wish I had looked in a bit earlier - would definitely have gone. Close enough and good enough weather to take the bike.
Not a wasted weekend though, stripped the front of the Chevy and steam cleaned the engine ready for painting.
Another one for the calender next year. |

Hi first post!- sorry its a moan- but..The show was great the weather helped-first dry show this year-but the exit from the show ground after the event was a shambles.
I spent 1 hour and 20 minutes in a queue befor getting to the road.The Marsalls were not controling the traffic flow, cars were over heating and breaking down. A show of this size needs more than one exit point for the show ground and public car park. If I take a car next year I will either leave early (which I don't like doing as people have came to see the cars up to the shows published finsh time) or I will wait untill about 6.30pm before I leave. |

Yes, Selkirk has always been a problem that way. Using that site they are stuck with the single access due the bridge. I guess I just go prepared for an early or late (in this case) departure. Needless to say mud was also a problem this year. I'm fortunate in having big 18" wheels and narrow tyres but I had to push a couple cars with the smaller and wider varieties. Come expecting the worst and it all adds to the fun.

Your photos are excellent. We know this show well and exhibit there. This is the first show we have missed due to a split diaphram on our 1950 Humber Super Snipe. Fortunately due to your forum we are in process of acquiring one from one of your members.
Hopefully next year we will be exhibiting the Super Snipe and also 2 rare motor cycles I have. They are Coventry Eagle Silent Superbs - one a 1931 and the other a 1932. They are now prepared and ready to be exhibited in next seasons shows.
I have also just acquired a 1958 Austin Cambridge - one owner in pretty good condition. Light restoration needed but will be exhibited next season.
I look forward to meeting some of you chaps in the future! |

Gosh! Much better coverage than I did.
This looks strangely familiar..
