Some real beauties and what looks like a beautiful day :-) S

.. i was quite amazed of the variety of cars on show ... and the weather ? Well it was meant to rain all day :-) ... . Filip

Always like a gathering of great cars. Really like the Dino in the parking lot. Thanks for sharing. JerryW

... We will all drive old cars .... again :) A true shame you didnt get that Appia :-( Filip

...it wasn't an Appia I regret, but a silver Fulvia Zagato Sport...I rationalise it by saying it was a steel one, it is fwd, not enough room, only 1.3, spares in the pre-Internet era.... Though I have driven an Appia (pillarless) 4 door and beautiful litt...
