Forecast was dire but generally dry and rain held off until coffee and lunch breaks.The oldest car was a Bentley Derby 1937 then Willys Jeep 1944 (the Gooks daughter & son-in-law)The Dinns and the Knights came with a Triumph TR2 and a Jaguar XK 140, both 1955. Other marques included Bentley,Sunbeam,Bristol and MG.
Although Geoff was unwell he still managed to attend and enjoyed the day - relaxing while Bridget did all the driving.
