there was probably a couple thousand cars there, but dozens were the same and/or fairly common vehicles--I tried to just shoot some of the more interesting examples---besides that, I was coming to the end of my compact flash chip --I've used up 12 gb since last weedend at Indy!!!!!!!!!!

What an display of WHEEL types!!!!!!!!!!

As an early teen I read "The Red Car" by Don Stanford, about a young guy and a red MGTD. I dreamed about having a MG T series for a long, long time and I still think that they are a great looking sports model but I'm not sure I really want one any more....

The Triumph with the twin screens brought back memories...I was about eight, and a friend of the family had one...took me for a ride in the dicky seat.

Nearly sixty years later I still remember that!

Driving around the Hutt Valley hoping some of my school-mates would see me!

Thanks for the memories...and the pics...I've not seen one since.

I read that same book! And feel almost the same way.. I would like to drive one for a bit tho'....

Did any body notice the twin Holley carbs on the woody wagon????

Some really nice cars, thanks for the pics Jerry!!!!

Back in school, one of my neighbors built a TR-3 with a SBC and a 4 speed, it was wild!!!! College, marriage, kids, and life forced the sale of the car for something bigger.... Now Aaron is 66, found another TR-3 and has begun duplicating his original car, should be done next spring!!!!

Thanks for the pics, there sure are some beautiful examples of some fine autos in that bunch.

Yeah, way back when I drooled over the old style MG's, but also liked the simplicity of the Morgan's, the smooth lines of the Jag's (especially the later E Types!!), and Austin Healey's!! Some beautiful car designs, provided a fellow didn't try to keep them running smooth....
