Can anybody who has one supply me a good scan of one?
Could also be nice for the main site!

I have a poster somewhere and some A4 sized ones
I had a trade stall at it and they arrived from Austin Rover on the Friday when the event was on Sunday
In fact I had THE trade stand. They were asking £110 for a stall when most shows were £25 tops. Everyone copped out until I had the bright idea that if everyone else wasn't standing for it , I could be in for a good thing
I took such gems as 35 sets of nudge bars and sold everything. I didn't know where to stuff the cash.
We were doing convertible conversions and we managed to get the roof off a 25 in time but didn't have time to make a hood for it. Luckily it didn't rain all weekend
How times change

Gosh, I wonder why umbrellas were so expensive? I doubt you would pay £12 for one now unless it was a dead posh version.

I have this poster with all the racing drivers signatures that day. I also have a nice pic with dad on the front row. Will dig them out over the weekend.
