Don't apologise, they are super pictures. What an interesting and varied selection of cars. That poor TR owner has got some work to do! Any idea what happened to him?

I don't know.

Road conditions were poor due to ice and snow, so I wondered if it had spun since it is damaged both front and back.
More worryingly, the front wheels seem to have a huge amount of negative camber :( .

The owner of the red T2000 informed me thus:

"The red TR4 damage at the back was the Rover P4 sliding into it at a control, and the front was were it decided to go through a wall."

He also said that the snow and ice made it difficult throughout Wales and Scotland with about 75% of the cars sustaining some damage.
The T2000 managed fine and only needed a push to get going on the ice on the occasions that they had stopped to assist the Minis!

As demonstrated locally with the recent 'surprise' weather; everyone thinks they know how to drive in snow and ice, but so few folk know how to stop in it!

Is that a large lump of filler that has dropped out? Looks as if it may have happened before!
