I did'nt see the white Ambo!

 

I think it was more beige - camera / light playing tricks

[michiel]

Wonderful, all those Allegros, Maxis and er, this Barbi thing...

RA - you must have photographed every car!

 

I never grow tired of looking at that Allegro SS - I love everything about it.

No but I must praise your impression of MRS R.A as it was near on perfect

[Lord Sterling]

Thanks for putting these up Rootes. I heard some of the Rover 800 Krew were attending, doesnt look as if many did turn up. I've kind of removed myself from there anyway.

 

Liking the lone Blue Rover Sterling.

That does look a truly wonderful show. It really shows the breadth of models that Austin/Morris/BMC/BL/Rover had over the years.

 

I really must make it next year

 

I think the yellow Maxi 2 would be my choice of the lot on offer that day.

I need to own an Allegro before much more time passes. Preferably a white VP1500, like my grandad's...

The white Metro van belongs to a chap I know who has quite a few BMC/BL cars and who has a knack of turning up really nice examples like this. It's only done 25000 miles, must be the best one left in existence.

I dont understand all this Marina hate (generally on other forums) as pictures like this make the car look so cool. Cheers for taking the time to snap these pictures and post them up, a good variety of cars it looks like you had a good day.

Thanks for sharing!

 

I'd forgotten how ugly the Allegro was.

 

Looks like a great day was had by all.

 

Don't forget to add the Landcrabs and Maxis to :-

p.s. Just checked the engine size of Wildgoose with DVLA - 998cc for pity's sake!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I cant get enough of that Marina hatchback, does anyone know the owner? Is there any blurb on it anywhere?

 

Heres an 2008 snap of it c/o ratdat.
