We went on Saturday and possibly picked the best day of the weekend weather-wise. Marvellous specatacle and very noticeable that this year most (I'd guess 95%) people were dressed up in style.
I asked the price of the Swallow and was told it is not for sale but they had spent 'around £100,000' on its restoration. The chap also added 'I don't know if it would command anything like that in the market'. 'Possibly not' I said, trying not to collapse with laughter.

Some snaps from the day are here. I apologise that a couple of the photos of the TVRs in the Motor Show are blurred. I think my blood pressure was up a bit. Debs said 'It must be the lovely cars.' I said, 'What cars?'
