Yep, a cracking event. Wandering around the visitor car parks is nearly as interesting as the cars on display in the central area. I arrived deliberately early to get a chance to do some photography without the later arriving hordes.
Great to see Rob and Ian, and nice to bump into Dallas Jones, but despite keeping an eagle eye open I didn't spot a single TM lanyard.
Managed to grab a framed Le Mans poster, too - not an original, I hasten to add, but an official Le Mans copy. Had to have it as it was from June 1959, when I was born.
Out of hundreds of absolutely gorgeous cars, I loved the Rileys, but by far the coolest of all without a doubts were the cars like the D Type - used hard and often, beautifully patinated and proudly carrying the road dirt demonstrating they are used they way they were meant to be. Total respect.
