Now there's a collector's item!
There was talk of an anniversary custom show there a couple of years ago, which looked quite hopeful after they stopped holding Sunday markets there, but unfortunately, nothing came of it in the end. My first experiences of drag racing were tagging along with my brother & his mates to the meets there, back in the late 70s.

These were given out to every entrant when signing on at the event. I wonder how many are left. |

Watched an episode from the new series of "Wheeler Dealers" on Quest last night, 3rd Nov (series 10 episode 8 ) and it turned out that the guys got a V8 Ford Pop that needed some TLC so they did their thing. Mike Brewer said his father had owned a Pop back in the day, and it turned out to be Micky Bray's Pinball Wizard (doesn't Sir Mankey have/had one if its engines tucked away somewhere?) Guessing the episode will be repeated sometime, maybe soon, so if ya want to see it, best refer to your TV listing for Quest http://wheelerdealers.xyz/series-10-episode-8/ |

Never seen it, (I don't own a TV), but heard about it. The Pop was finished in purple wasn't it? Wasn't very well received by the Popular crowd, but if Ed China was involved, (is that the programme he does?), it would've had some unusual touches, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. Also some dispute over whether his Dad actually owned the Wizard. I think they decided he may have part owned it for a short time.
Yes, I owned a 383ci Mopar engine that came out of Pinball Wizard. I was given it for free by the current owner, Pete Legrice, to go in Tazet's Dodge Charger. It went with the car when I sold it & last I heard, was being rebuilt to go in it.
