Took my Sonett here for the weekend and placed it on the Great Western Saabs stand. Had an almighty amount of interest, and spent the time cleaning him right up!
Lots of interesting cars here, although no DAFs! Closest thing was this fine fella:
I was in the main hall, and not hard to spot!
After a clean up, he looked like this!
The show was smaller than usual but still quite busy - but there was not much in the way of autojumble but I did buy a rather splendid caliper rewind tool which I needed and lots of bulk degreaser and that....
I was offered a couple of Saabs by the public but nothing of huge interest but one of them might be worth pursuing as it's a fairly modern 9-3 whos elderly owner has passed on. Apparently, it's unwanted and with a tiny mileage so could be a good "every-dayer".
I didn't expect to drive the Sonett through snow and floods but had to today - it coped well but does need the carb sorting as there is a flat spot which is easy to "drive around" but I'd like to sort for good.
Some other splendid cars include:
