Yeah I loved the little A35 - used to drive one of those! But I have to say I really loved the Dodge Corona - I couldn't catch it with the camera but the driver wore a huge 'ten gallon' hat!
It was a great afternoon in lovely weather and glorious scenery too, with lots of interesting cars -what more could anyone want? Oh yes, an ice cream would have made it perfect but the ice cream van was missing!

Maybe he was doing the circuit too? fabulous photos Bobbi. I wonder if that's the same Volvo Amazon that was at the Basingstoke show? Love the mark 2 Jag & of course the Dodge.

Every car there was worth a phot, but if you try to catch them all you don't really see anything! I used to go to Gurston a coup[le of times a year - it must be only about 30 miles - but somehow I haven't been for years! Must try and make a habit of it.
