That is annoying. :?

Due to working in Durham, I was in Lancaster earlier than usual and we had the Monaco in the drive so we could have come down, maybe met up with Ian en route for guidance.

Can you remind me when it is (usually) and a rough guide as to where it is and when it starts/finishes ?

And we will try it some time.

Hi Tony,

The father and son will be the Mimmacks from Blackpool. I bought my '72 Torino from them back in 1986. I found John Mimmack great to deal with.

They used to have the old Sammy Davis Jr. stretched Riviera for a while that came from Glasgow, plus, when I was a student, I nearly bought a 1970 slant six Challenger from them (1979 or so).

Not sure if I can make this Friday. I may not be down in Lancaster in time then we need to go collect the Monaco.

All the best
