Ace cafe?

I would have liked to go. But again, it looks like rain could play a part on plans. :(

No here. Raining, some heavy. Then stops. My luck it will wait until I'm there then open up!

Well the rain stayed away, so we hopped in the Sportster and made off to the Ace cafe on the London North Circular. They were having a Q Plate and kit car day.
There was not a huge number of cars but a very interesting selection of almost every type of kit car produced.



We had our lunch (the food is highly recommended here) and a nice wander around cars outside the famous cafe.



The range of cars was amazing. From a little air cooled Lomax to Gardner Douglas and AGM Sportscar monsters and a very rare Carcraft Cyclone which was in superb condition and finish.

Here is a selection...

Cradley Motor Works Lomax Tourer


Gardner Douglas Lola T70 replica-absolutely sublime


MNR Vortex - bike endined LSIS on a 08 plate


Carcraft Cyclone - superb rare example


AGM Sportscars - WLR


and of course, yours truly...
