nothing running yet :roll: Even my express parts collection vehicle is out for the count with a nail in the tyre and needs a set of 4 #Porschetax

Minispares order is in but unsure about the distance with an unfamiliar, untested car.

Tell us what you are bringing to Blyton, asuming that it is still working between now & then, of course.

As usual, I'll be bringing two cars.

My White Speedwell 1152. Which was there last year.

And new for this year is my Almond Green 1275 S.


I still have a few gremlins to expel from the S, but feel quite optimistic that it will be there, having done a good 60 odd miles yesterday with only minor issues.
Lovely pair Mark. :D

If I get it to idle nicely without gassing everything in sight with unburnt fuel, if I get the sliding glass in the front doors, if I replace the brake light switch, if I replace the nearside headlamp loom, if I bolt the battery down and p-clip the battery cables in place, if I can be sure the leak down the back is just the breather and can get away with fitting a long hose to route the oil away, if it makes the 100 mile round trip to the rolling road and it survives that without any further major gremlins revealing themselves.. I'll be there in LFF. It won't be 100% complete, but it'll be up and running. :lol:

Red 1997, White 1971 or Blue 1965. Who knows? Hopefully it will be the white one! It depends on which one starts quickest!

I’ll be in my silver seat Leon 🙄 there should be a boot full of bits to sell and hopefully goodies to take home.
Hopefully if my house is ever finished I’ll build a mini for next year..
