even though the ground was chockablock full of classic tin, I only took a handful of pics, and it was only when I got home I realised, I'd only snapped one bug, Caroline's!!

Well I did the clever thing and left the camera at home :wallbash: Well done me. Took a few with the phone. Had a great day. It was alot bigger than I was expecting. I got in and out fairly early so missed most of the traffic. Here's my few pics.......

1979 Cabrio that is owned by Pierce Motors in Tipp town. It was unregistered and kep tin the showroom until they had to register it in 1992 and it was given a 92-TS reg but he has since changed it to a 79-TS reg. There is only 170 miles on it form new but could do with a bit of loving as it was left open for all to mess with in the showroom. The chrome has gone off and there are a few marks but still an amazing car.

Poor old Caroline was shoved down the back but she was delighted because nobody would see it as she feels it's a bit rough after the winter.......so obviously I couldn't show any pics of it :D
