Joe,
I don't think your photo does the event justice. By lunch the Seven area was full of cars, upward of a hundred, of all descriptions plus the added attraction of a good few larger Austins. There was around five hundred or so of many other marques, including bikes, to suit all tastes. People came in their thousands, perhaps not all to look at old cars, but it made for a good atmosphere. The new car show offered everything from a humble Dacia to a Lamborghini! As Chris says there was an excellent autojumble with some good stuff, although some traders I believe stayed away anticipating inclement weather. Yes, we were very lucky with the weather and this was a great bonus. Regarding the past antics, health and safety put paid to them some time ago. I prefer to look on the positive side...and anyway, it didn't cost you anything to enter!
