Love this recreation. The star of the Ellerslie show for me.
Good to see my ex-business partner still giving it a go!

Last classic meeting of the season. Derek Moore bought my ex-Bonham MG BGT, then the Andy Turpin XJS and now in a newer Audi.

I have a fair few pics now stacked up, ready to post, but may cull the list ready for later in the year when I'll hopefully have Shelsley Walsh pics rather than just repeating local cars. Missing the Caffeine and Classic local meets where there was often something 'new'.
I've got to the stage now where I am itching to get overseas to snap stuff that isn't local. There's a limit to how many times I can justify a pic of say Racing Ray Williams, or a Formula Junior Gemini, much as I like both.
I'm not too sure how others see my posts, especially of the slightly more modern cars or local shows.
As many are deeply wrapped in NZ's rich history of motoring and motorsport, the people, cars, tracks of decades ago, I sometimes wonder if I should limit what I post, to just 'special' cars either from history or not seen locally. I'd be interested in your comments.
Meanwhile.
Of the various cars my ex boss in the UK had me drive, (Aston Martin DBS Vantage, Rolls Silver Shadow, BMW 2002, NSU, Citroen 2CV, Austin 1800, Vauxhall 6 etc.), the Daimler Sovereign was probably the most impressive.

This was a model of the real car on which it was sitting!
Winding down this week as we are away next Sunday. MGs with appropriate number plates.

This is now back on my drive... Roger has done the clutch, brakes, carbs etc., and I'm now trying to sort out the butchered wiring. Someone seems to have removed the original starter relay and when redoing it, obviously got it totally wrong as the wire that used to go to the starter/solenoid is a twisted melted mess and at the ignition switch, virtually non-existent, so it wouldn't turn over. Roger, like many mechanics, steers well clear of electrics.

...and MG's without plates
Second post of the day, still clearing the ready to post folder. The upcoming trip will hopefully include Brooklands, Sparkford/Haynes, Gaydon - again. Then the Silverstone experience and Classic Shelsley Walsh.
Yesterday's posts disappeared...
