The Maxi made its show debut yesterday at this small local event, which seems to be principally a dog show with other supporting attractions tagged on around it. Sadly the poor weather meant the turnout of cars was fairly low but there were still a few interesting things. Six-cylinder was also there so he gets the honour of being the first shiter to see the Maxi in the flesh.

You've got a proper grille badge!  Well done, looks 100% better.  I rather like the black painted bars on the grille though, you're allowed to keep those

Well spotted. That badge was in the boot and we figured out it would fit on the later grille. It does look so much better and it's amazing what a difference such a small change has made.

Maxi looks to be in good company there....I actually like damp car shows as they are a lot easier to photograph without all that chair and picnic clutter everywhere.   Also, less MGBs turn up.
