The 2012 event was scheduled to be on the hottest day of the year and by golly it was hot! There was a wide variety of classics on display at the Bartons Garage site and also a great selection of Middlebridges. Will even joined us while on vacation after driving his Middlebridge down from Northern Scotland 'Thanks Will', We were also joined at the event by John McCauley Ex MD of Middlebridge and his wife Brenda who both stayed for several hours.

While talking and basking in the afternoon sun we decided to drive in convoy to The Bee Keeper Pub which was the Middlebridge local and has many MB pictures hanging on the walls. (We the MESS supplied some replacement pictures after some of the original ones were stolen from the pub). Once we were suitably refreshed and fed-up we again went in convoy to the Lilac Grove site where our cars were originally built
