[DennisM]

Wish me luck, I'm off to the Jag car club "All British Day" on the foreshore Newcastle, it is 113-372's second outing outside the LGA where I live, I hope I have a trouble free day, maybe some pix if any other Solihull vehicles there, cheers Dennis

Well 113-372 behaved today, down n back without any issues, although it was very cold heading off this morning I believe it was -1 when I left and I can assure you my left ear was burning before I had traveled a mile (1.6k), I had singlet/shirt/track suit top/Land Rover jacket/army bush coat on and I still froze LOL , thank who ever that I don't live any further Sth .
I arrived at around 0845hrs, to see quite a few vehicles already there, I was directed to park near an old Land Rover, an old Land Rover indeed??!!!, it was John T's restored 80", anyway I parked next to it and was soon joined by John T himself, checking over 113-372 as he had not seen it in the flesh, we discussed all things Land Rover and my new project the Series 1 86", when along came a S2A Bloodbox owned by Wayne D, with none other than 'Judge Dredd' aka Graham D, he used to own 113-372.
Weather wise it was perfect, lots of people n vehicles, here is an image of 113-372 and Graham D posted with his full permission

he did say to say G'day to those who know him!
here is another image

Graham had that many people come up to him that either knew him from work or around the district, I'm certain that made his day even more enjoyable,  the only extra item I took, was a PRC 77 set.

this image is of the 'old Land Rover' in fact it is John T's 80" with the 'Judge' checking the authenticity of the vehicle!!, he is like that and despite his disability he is spot on!!

There were lots of expensive vehicles there today from Rools Royces to E type Jags, all types of Rover cars including my favourite the P6B 3500S 5 speed manual drool drool, but this one caught my eye a Supercharged Armstrong Siddley

more of it

and yet more

you should have heard the engine running 
Some cars that I have only ever seen in books like this Jag

and this one

and close to my heart and adolescent life the Mk1 Cooper 'S'

and these 2 Minis with some unusual mods, this one with a BMW motorbike engine (only the head etc)

and this one with a ?? Suzuki engine?

 well I had a great day out meeting up with friends, cheers Dennis

Good to see that this year was hassle free.
Looks as though that is a pretty good day attracting a wide variety of nice engineering. Great pics.

Great Photos!

Was the D Type Jag an original, or one of the very good reproductions about the place?

[DennisM]

Richard, I wouldn't know whether it was the real thing or not, some of the people there (well I was just walking about for a short time) I thought were up the food chain higher than me if you get my drift LOL cheers Dennis
ps I had a lot of lookers n tyre kickers talking about the Siren, I brought them crashing down to earth when I rolled out the lovely in-service image in down town Saigon, way back in May 68, it took the wind out of there collective sails LOL,,.
