Lovely 90 mile round trip with Leo our Lhasa, meeting John V6 for pub lunch at the remote Poachers Pocket pub before heading short distance over to annual afternoon Classic car show at small village of Friston in Suffolk.

Bumped into a surprising number of folk I knew and spotted three other Mogs.

Smart AC Ace with 2 litre straight six.

Rare Jensen 541S, an interim model heralding the styling of the fibre glass bodied CV8 that followed, an example of which I once owned. It retained the 4 litre straight six lorry engine used in the 541 though.

Impressive at this show which I'd never visited before, was the range of vehicles. New and old classics, military and a large number of motorbikes.

Even steam was represented with this unusual forward control traction engine

Impressed by this imported and rebuilt 1937 Moto Guzzi 500S with trade mark inlet over exhaust configuration (or the reverse if engine was vertical wink ). Put my later Airone 250 to shame. Had to do a double take when it arrived as looked so similar in finish to mine and with the same OXS reg. prefix confused2

This retro Rrough wink Superior displayed modern hi-tech engineeering.
