Managed to sneak in early under the guise of being Marshals, as we had the 'merch' and tables to deliver to the stand. Although we have membership cards anyway, the lad on the gate didn't want to see them, so maybe that's the answer to anyone who moans about the entrance fee... volunteer to be marshals and you'll get in for free? :-k :lol:

Attendance was always going to be compromised due to the iffy weather forecast but as usual, it wasn't as bad as predicted, with just a couple of very short showers around 8.30am then 2.30pm.

Highlight for me and Stu was seeing Pete's old, but now Bryan's, 62 Belvedere turn up. I dont think we've seen it since Pete sold it and it went oop north, maybe 10 years ago? Good to see it's now been returned to a more original appearance, having had a few, ahem, custom touches added by previous owners #-o

Great pics.

I do like the look of that Blue Charger in the first pic. Not seen that one before and nice to see the St Alban's Charger back on the road!

I was talking to the owner, he’s from Crowborough.

He saw it advertised in the states and flew over to look at it. Struck a deal and got it shipped back. It’s had a blow over but thinks whoever did it mixed up the wrong QQ 1 colour but just went with it. It’s got some dents/scratches on the bonnet and wings where the previous owners son dropped a box on it and then dragged it off the car when it was in the garage. I’m sure he said he’d had it about 5yrs.

Thanks for the info.
That's a long way to go to look at a car but well worth it for a car like that!

Thanks, I was wondering if it was supposed to be QQ1, as we have a mate with a 68 Charger undergoing a 'resto' (of sorts :roll: ) that's supposed to be the same colour scheme.

BTW, we went to North Carolina to look at our 63 Polara before we bought it... 20 years ago now :shock:
