[Robtp10]

Went along to a local car meet at Blackbushe Airport on Sunday, regular small meet every last Sunday of the month, saw some nice cars there including a number of fast Fords,

a mk1 Jaguar with 22,000 miles, original owner kept it in their front room for 50 years or so, a Rolls Silver Shadow bought as a non runner for £500 new starter motor and sill and back on the road, a VW Golf that was abolutely pristine, even polished under teh wheel arches, took a few pics for any body interested

I think it is a UVA kit car replica

A lot of very nice motors, but the impressive one for me is the Vauxhall Cresta. Most of them rusted away as you watched in the sixties!

Yes it is great seeing some of the survivors

My late uncle George was a Cresta man, starting with the lovely old PA.
