Super photos Nick, thanks for sharing.
Great weekend wasn't it?
Maybe not the biggest turn-out I've seen over the years, but in all other respects one of the most enjoyable Beaulieu rallies I remember.

Hi Nick,

Another great set of photos which captured the Beaulieu atmosphere and replaced not being able to attend.

Many thanks for all of your efforts which are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for sharing Nick your pictures, this is an event I have been meaning to go to for years, I would have made it this year but my son who lives only 50 miles away had to work and also we had the VHRA hot rods on the beach at Pendine which is only a couple of miles away from us.

If anybody saw a genuine Ruby for sale for a complete newbie I am interested. I promise I am a genuine newbie and not in any way a dealer. Sussex area would be preferable.

I attended for the first time. I spoke to a couple of very kind owners. I am looking to buy a 7 at some point next year. The guys that I spoke to were very friendly and gave me a lot of information.

Two of the nicest parts of the weekend for me were.

As I sold a fellow restorer my pair of R47s a couple of years ago, which were saved for my own build.and his build was progressing faster than mine. And I thought in a couple of years I would have found more.

Well I hadnt. And the car is going together over the winter. It was a great day to find an original pair at a sensible price.

The other Thing is with all the best suppliers being there, it felt good to be able to dirrect people onto other stalls for what I couldn't supply.

Just a couple.
I hope the gent who came back to thank me, finds his dream car with Nigel snow.
The gent who was after winder parts, hopefully found them with arthur Davis.
And the number of people who were put onto the seven workshop. (Alot looking for small parts).
It helps to remember what others stock as well as yourself.

Tony.

Sorry for the delay in replying to this. Superb Photos Nick as always.
We had a super weekend, lovely cars and many friendly faces, a nice run through the Forest on Saturday too. Picked up a few bits, chief among which was a scuttle tank from Tony  (Thanks to a tip off from Robert Foreman the week before).
Here are my photo's (Click any for the full album). I've been trying out video in the car (not quite as good as I'd like yet, especially the sound), so some footage of the run on Saturday along with some video of a few of the teams taking on the driving tests in the afternoon (Nick included).

Great photos Timothy , nice to see my Ruby as the second from last photo, but was a bit worried with the photo of me in a Purple and white Polo shirt that is clearly to small (its now rags in the garage )
