I like early multiples.

But not that one because even when the clutch is fixed there is all the damage from its former TV life.

That is an interesting thought!

I would have to replace the footballers on the dashboard with a little scaled down model orchard... still with the Invacar of course, for realism...

The one he bought from me is the concours car. Even featured on the grid at goodwood on breakfast club.

I’m at a loose end tomorrow if you want anything doing or moving at the field. Family niece is in quarantine so I can’t visit and the weather looks ok.

My plan for tomorrow starts at 9 am when I leave the house in the Fiat Seicento to meet the guys from the Milton Keynes Classic Club. The Giffard Park Pub in Milton Keynes, MK14 5QN has a large carpark and there will be a small selection of cars to look at. Some of us will start with breakfast at the pub. How long we stay depends how long before we are frozen, but it will be all over before lunchtime.

I have not had an answer from Mrs6C if she is going so there may be a seat in the Seicento or even a squash in the back if she does. Alternatively you would be welcome to come to the house before I leave and take @HMC Mercedes CLK or your E320 Coupe. 

I know Mrs6C plans to go to the FoD tomorrow and I am sure you could be useful helping her.  Bring warm cloths because even the heating in the house is playing up so is not over warm indoors.

If anybody else fancies meeting up in the morning in Milton Keynes then I am sure the MK Modern Classics group will welcome visiting classics. Core time 9.30am - 11.30am. If anybody wants to borrow a car then there is a Mercedes, also a black Alfa 156 V6 that needs exercise.

Hello,  I think your 9am departure is a little earlier than I’d like but keep me updated on FOD work needed.

Brilliant field of many motors, just a thought:

Is it not worth throwing down some flagstones (can be had for free off ebay / Facebook marketplace) , saves the cars sinking etc in this horrible weather.

I expected the wish is to keep it s field and not a parking lot ( despite current appearances to the contrary)
