I'll be there as usual. Get there early because the queues do build up !! It's a good place to find that elusive part with many trade stalls, not that many cars (especially early ones) to look at but still a good chance for a rummage and a natter.

Thanks Pete, and yes ;) its this little thing 8-)

but I am also after the W&P sill badges, as JanSpeed stripped my car for almost every badge it had.
They didnt have any gearknobs/steeringwheel centers, so these were left alone.

I have a genuine WP dealer badge = http://www.google.com/imgres?q=badge+wo ... x=79&ty=34

and a dash badge, which is simelar, but very small.

All other WP badges would be of interest ?

Well Pete, your seat made it safely back to my shop once again mate. If you are trying to lose it, you only have to say so. 8-)

What a brlliant show. It was warm (almost too warm??) well organised, reasonably priced and packed to the gills with decent trade stands. Bought bundles of stuff. As a result I am now insolvent :D , in part thanks to a few forum members. Really nice to meet you guys. Paul , great to meet with you. You are a real enthusiast. Hope your team got home safely. Keep in touch. Cheers. Mark

Was a decent show this year, loads for sale, busy with people and some very interesting non UK cars.
I reckon they need to turn the heating up next year though, it wasn't hot enough :)

I setup stall saturday and it was so so cold, so for the sunday i actually left my pj bottoms on under the jeans, t-shirt, shirt jumper and daftly coat (it housed the float) and finished with 2 pairs of socks.

Kept it all on all day and glowed cherry blossom red (when the heating and bodies arrived) facially and everywhere else - probably all day!

reduced my waist size in a day - my bird (sorry wife) would pay good money for that!

Im not used to the weather up that way obviously
