Missed this last year but glad we made the effort this time round.
Organised by the family and friends of Pete Tucker who passed away last year.
If you didn't know him (from the AAC forum) - 'Pete was an American car dealer an early stock car racer and he was there at the foundation of our club. He will be best remembered for his commentaries at the shows, where he showed a great wit and an incredible knowledge of American cars, not forgetting his cowboy hat and other flamboyant clothes.'

There were a few I missed getting photos of as we ended up chatting as usual, but here are the majority that caught my eye...

Thanks for posting :D
Nice to see Roydon's Valiant. I'm not usually a fan of slot mags (sacrilege I know), but those are a bit special.
T'was a good show.

Thanks for shring the pics, Pete Tucker was taking a pi$$ in a portaloo at one of the shows years ago and some scally wags tippes it over on it's side, I think he must have took the pi$$ out of the wrong persons car. :lol:

Of course, it could have been for crimes against fashion...

Good to see our Challenger Hellcat feature as one of the few modern cars in your pics :salute:

He's obviously quite discerning.
Always room for a Hellcat or indeed any Challenger old or new.
