A very nice set of pics Richard. There are other cars out there besides our main favourites and its nice to see them featured. For several years now I have been tempted to go that show but so far have not made it. I did have an excuse this year as ill health would have stopped me. I must see if I ca...

Having been to Forde Abbey before I agree it is rather expensive as a venue for this type of occaison. The setting at the front of the house is excellent and the gardens are stunning when in full bloom. The fountains if working are spectacular and I can recommend the cream teas.

I think from memory the 'Black and Green' Rover is 1936. The Grey one is 1938 and I think has a larger engine.

Phil you're obviously jealous of those being retired after a long career achieving not a lot. Never mind your turn will come in the end and you can join us with all your cars down in sunny Weymouth. 8-) Why bypass Weymouth to go on to Cornwall, it is one of the wettest parts of the south coast.

The registration 'MJ' was in fact LUTON (Beds) right up until 1974, and applied to 'NM' and 'TM'.
