Hi Steve,
Hope you and Mary are well. Look forward to seing you again at Gaydon.
Enjoyed show that much bought another one...2 door saloon that is. His and hers! This time a 1957 little number. Trying to find out what original colour she was. Seems to be that she's trafalgar blue at the mo. But we're not sure if that was a colour option in 1957? Any idea?

Hi, 'fraid trafalgar blue wasn't an option in 1957, the oly type of blue you could get was a funny shade of turquoise..., what colour is the interior?

In my opinion, this is exactly the sort of thing that should be posted on this website.

Can't wait for Gaydon on the 20th, in fact I got along there last Saturday for mini festival which was also combined with a Doctor Who Dalek invasion - brilliant, and good to see the great selection of Minors inside too. Talking of which, because large parts of Doctor Who seem to take place in London and Cardiff isn't it time we suggested to the BBC that a Minor would be the ideal city runabout for the next Doctor?

Regaliaqueen said
I think the full details will appear in the next MM. Contacting Rosie is just a way of "registering your interest" in advance.

Still no details in Minor Matters. :( For the second issue running there's just a line asking people to contact Rosie Hamilton for details.

It's the Minor's birthday party - why all the 'secrecy' and need to register your interest in advance? Surely it would have been better to publish the details in full to let everyone know what's happening and save on postage costs :-?

If anyone actually receives a reply from Rosie could you please post details up here. Thanks.

Gaydon aren't showing any details of the event on their website yet - perhaps the details still haven't been finalised? :-?

I would have thought that they had been finalised by now. However I can't see the problem in publishing what is being planned.

On the subject of notification, I would be very interested to know who has been successful in applying for a place in the Lord Mayors Show this year, and also those that have been chosen by the organisers.

Rather annoying that this date clashes with the Roses Run. To have two big club events on the same day is unfortunate to say the least. I've already entered and paid for the Roses Run, so looks unlikely that I'll make it to this one :(
