Never been to this place so decided to venture over after noticing a show was there today. :)

 

There was an enormous turnout of Rovers due to the P4 cub holding their National Rally there. The majority of examples were concours jobbies although there were a few (far more interesting I must admit) shitey specimens hiding in amongst them. 8) The Merc W124 club were also having some do there as well which looked rather DULL

 

The owner of this Cyclops claimed that it had only just been recommissioned after being laid up since 1972.

Could't get any decent shots of the latter due to the rubbish lighting. :(

Onto the commercial shite, starting with this sexy Swede. Believed to be one of only 150 or so produced as a chassis cab.

On D plate that'll be 1966...

 

Excellent photos though, and I'm right with you on the Council-estate Elvis bit! That Vauxhall is a honey.

Nice photos Dan, It looks as if there was plently to see there, I think that Cortina is a Taunus as it's a left hooker.

Having owned four W124s "Dull" is not quite the right word, after thousands of miles they feel just the same. Having been lent one last year, it felt like a familiar old friend.

Sounds pretty dull to me Chris! :P

Brilliant pics Dan. I didnt realise this was going to be on or I might have made an effort to drag myself and my car there.

Lovely pics! That final Volvo 122 is rather special, and a C plate P6 must be one of the first?
