Looking at the catalogue, there doesn't seem to be a lot of...err... shite?  It all looks fairly nice hashtagshockhorror.

 

Might bumble along if I can get free.

Forget what I said.

Beautiful.  It looks like the sort of thing that would have pulled up outside Fawlty Towers in one of the very few exterior scenes.

 

If I had proper money, I'd be hitching a lift up and driving it home.

I have had naughty thoughts about that Fiat estate I'll be keeping an eye on it if I'm there ;)

That 16 and 504, oooft, has anyone told JM yet?

.... has anyone told JM yet? 

 

I think maybe he's oot due to Kings Lynn being located at the opposite side of Lincolnshire.

M6,A14,A47 doesn't need to go near Lincolnshire.

 

Anyway I'm in (apparently).My mate's been round and told me we are going.

Unless there’s a disaster getting my lad to football, I’ll be present and correct. Looking forward to it!

Eugh, if I can make some money this month I'm having that R16 (and paying off all my debts fao Sam Glover)

That 504 just made me cry a little bit

I'm gonna be heading to this, we could do with some way of identifying each other.

One rolled up trouser leg?

 

Might be chilly in Norfolk in January though.

The AS uniform.

If only we could get a cheap supply of these, I'd be up for it.

Full metal jacket.

 

(With one different colour sleeve and one pocket made of wob, some pigeon welding on the collar, Houndstooth lining and BL plughole buttons.)

Out of the possible attendees I know barmat and Wuvvm look like.

Anyhoo, more stuff has been added to the catalogue since I last looked, including a bit of aspirational chod for me, that is a bit more than I can afford.

Ritmo 105TC, estimate £8-10k

I'm undecided about this, but I'd be tempted if it was cheap (Ford scene tax means thats doubtful)

Just so I don't get into a bidding war with anyone on here, is anyone else planning to have a serious bid on the R16?

A Fiat Strada for £10,000. What has the world come to....(goes and lies down).

Not unless I suddenly become a lot richer between now and Saturday morning.

I would really like that Renner 16, but I can see it making £4K which is never gonna be my look, sadly.

 

I’m now looking at Peugeot 205s for the equivalent of a couple of days pay (!)

This Wolseley looks rather nice; it could also go for a decent price considering it is the first car through and has no reserve on it.

This is also a late entry. Only the N/A 1.8, but looks clean enough.

Everyone knows that cheap Rolls Royces are a terrible idea, but blue leather, a V8 engine and a vinyl roof are an alluring trio to have on a car.

Surprised that BorniteIdentity is eyeing up 205s though. This 190 looks rather tasty and would complement the silver one nicely.

Junkman will only sell his current 16 if a cheap 16TX comes up as I understand, also I think he prefers LHD as RHDs have some, ahem, design foibles, a product of French laziness of course.

 

Also, knowing how he spoke of his 16 on the autojumble trip, he'd never live it down from me if he was to sell it. It got a lot of attention, was the oldest 16 at the meet,  and proved itself to be one hell of a car, capable of almost anything without so much as batting an eyelid. (If he was selling I'd probably insist on buying it if I could: it's just that good a car).

For some inexplicable reason, I can not stand the grey cloth.  There were so many lovely choices that I could never have seen myself ticking the grey box in the dealership.

There are some lovely colours there.

 

Grey as interior colour should not be chosen period. My W202 C230K Merc had grey leather, and despite it being a nice interior, it was still grey.

 

The more interesting the car, the more chance of it having an interesting coloured interior (on cars in the last 20 years at least). An example I have my eye on that is for sale on eBay:

To get back on topic, this is one of several cars at ACA that I rather fancy (a no sale in the previous ACA event I believe):

Early Shadows/T-Types have the nicest of interiors.

I'm in the flippin' King's Lynn Travelodge, that's how keen I am! Just drinking a massive scotch out of a plastic cup in bed. Wish me luck guys.
