Well, what a weekend! Rumour had it that this year's Show was a third larger than last years. There were many more visitors to our stand which was manned everyday by 'new' MB owner Jonathan Smith, Bruce Beauchamp, RSSOC MB Registrar Will Anderson, George Sampford, Dan Mitchell and myself. Mike Holland and Peter Humphries delivered their cars on the Thursday set-up and returned on the Sunday to collect them. All of us were busy every day educating the masses. Jonathon's Midddlebridge extolled the Brabham connection which was a huge talking point for people over the three days. (see pictures).

We were once again contiguous with the RSSOC and the ROC. The ROC very kindly offered us a bit of their stand. They were thanked then, and after the show, and are thanked again here. This enabled us to have a little more room around each of the five cars. We also enjoyed some great banter with our friends on the RSSSOC stand. :)

Interestingly and probably unique in the show was that Bruce's car (26) was next to Peter's (27) who was next to Jonathan's (28). I wonder how many other clubs/manufacturers could achieve that? Peter's 'ASBO' orange car was the meat in the Scimitar sandwich with Bruce's stunning leather interior and paintwork one side and Jonathan's equally stunning paintwork and slightly different leather interior on the other side. All three drew admiring comments over the weekend as did Mike's and George's cars which are both also stunning examples of our marque.

Among the visitors on Sunday was Peter from Auto-trim who personally re-trimmed George's car, then Bruce's, then Jonathans which was finished a day or so before the show! After speaking with Peter I can see why George, Bruce and Jon chose him personally to do their interiors, As you can see He's a real craftsman with 30 + years experience. Please see the pictures for the full story.

Many thanks
