Alan is this Jim’s brother?

Neville, unfortunately the Sieve Donard Hotel Show runs from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 January 2019. I’m trying to get Eric Patterson up on Saturday 26 January. We are also hoping to see Ronnie White on the Saturday. In answer to that question, I don’t think Andy McClements was related to Jim. McClements is a very common County Down surname. I will post more details about this event in early January.

Dermott, thanks for posting, memories or what? That looks to me like Alec Poole leading Archie Phillips

Take a look in the Maroon B thread when you get a chance

The guy that bought number FR163 Elf and then cut it up for wall art has listed the logbook on ebay only £125, coming to a MK5 mini near you soon!

Hi Alan
Maybe the editor of the programme got it wrong...just says Robin Renicks and Archie Phillips at the hairpin on the inside cover.
Yes, memories!!!
Cheers

I added a couple more to my collection yesterday. Part of the long out of production Mini Classics range, they're a little crude but the colours are quite good.

Even BMC made them with better fit and finish than THAT Stuart
Those rear light are a shocking fit
As you say, at least the colours are pretty much correct!

Not a Riley or Wolseley, this is Joey Greenan's green Cooper S at Kilbroney Show this year. This car is for the St Mary's race next year

That would have been nice! that seat material must have worn out in a couple of years on the front, it's just not suitable for everyday use, it's just like curtain material, strange choice for a car seat really.

Arianca beige.
It’s next to catsh!t beige in the colour flip chart

Great car Francis, it must have been hanging around at the back of the parking lot at Longbridge for a while before it finally received its engine and running gear. Would you share the Fishlow, engine and chassis number with me via a pm, I am trying to work out when the front seam body changed. All the best David

Hi David you have PM
