Hi,
I've just attended my first branch rally and found it to be an excellent day out, helped by the fact that the weather behaved itself and didn't reduce the venue to a muddy quagmire!
Anyway, thanks to those who organised it and I thought I'd post up a few pics. [frame][/frame] (Shame I didn't shut up long enough to smile for the camera!! )[frame][/frame][frame][/frame] A good turnout, which included a few that you don't see so much of these days, like an Ital, Marinas, a Morris Isis saloon, and a Standard Six....[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame] Ray's lovely Singer Chamios[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame] Morris 8 Series E, I believe.....[frame][/frame] Morris Isis saloon, I've seen the estate twice at the National but how many of either left on the road??[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]The lovely Standard 6, I've never seen one in the flesh before, I bet there's not many of these left on the road either....[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame](Note the MG, they get in everywhere, don't they! )[frame][/frame] The venue for the event was Rufford Abbey country park, well worth a visit in itself.[frame][/frame][frame][/frame] Complete with Archaeological dig in progress, wonder if we lost anyone down the hole........? Bring back Time Team!!
All in all, a great day out!!
I shall leave it to someone more qualified to tell you about the concours and who won it.
Once again thanks MADMOG.
Best wishes,
Mike.
