Thanks must go to Rimmers for throwing open their doors on a Sunday and laying on food and drink for us. I enjoyed the warehouse tours which really opened my eyes to what a large scale operation they are and how much goes into getting your bits.
I came away with a couple of bargains but after seeing all the Rover SD1 panels upstairs I'm wondering if that might be the next car I ought to get!!
Thanks to Julian (Tinweevil) for manning the regalia stand most of the day too and thanks to everyone who came - I hope you all had a good day. Hopefully this will be an annual event and we can boost up the numbers too.
I was particularly taken with the red 1300 especially in view of the fact that it used to be quite a tatty little car and was originally Dolphin Grey. Two years work has seen it transformed into a real corker.
The blue Dolly 1300 in Rimmers yard is significant for me as it hails from my local BL dealer in Beverley and I used to see it being driven around by the old boy who bought it new. Bit rotten now unfortunately. Nice to see my old Carmine one in good hands though (first pic).
but here's a pic of it a few years ago:
