Rolleston-on-Dove Transport Festival 30 May 2011

[Justin Case]

Friends who live in this delightful village (near Burton-on-Trent) invited Mrs A and myself over for the day and took us to this small local event this afternoon. Plenty of variety, unfortunately the rain affected the quality of the photos but here's some Autoshite interest for your enjoyment:

Commer Rootes TS3 engine complete with supercharger?

 

Also, a point of pedantry, Vintage means pre-1931, so your buses are merely classics.

 

Nice pics though. Great to see stuff out and about even in shite weather.

Spot on, a virtual pint is on its way

Probably but the definition of vintage with buses seems to be more elastic, perhaps because there are very few pre-1931 ones about? Also I expect the non-expert inhabitantsof the village may want to take a look
