Here are a couple of photos from today. I've booked the car in for a full mop and polish at the local body shop ahead of next weekends big event at Shelsley Walsh, I'm going on the Sunday !

The Classic Nostalgia event at Shelsley Walsh today attracted some great cars, both in the competitive hill climb and in the spectator area.
When I arrived I was parked next to an immaculate, original AC Ace. Most of the competition cars were 60's, 70's and 80's plus a few earlier ones and specials. A Cummings powered Railton Special was the car for me. 6.6 litre with supercharger and turbo charger in series ! Apparently 950nm of torque at 1500 rpm ! The guy wasn't shy to drive it hard either !
