Had a good chat with Darren too who spotted me drooling :-) All credit to you mate.

A good show, albeit pricey at £23 advance and £25 on the day! :-O
Some awesome cars though, especially the more unusual 'classics' such as Allegro's, a Morris Ital, Metro 6R4...

Didn't see all the show as got delayed on the Renault Owners Club stand for 90 minutes chatting to the new owner of 102 which would have looked ace if it had been cleaner! Only 67k and 100% original...

He's having the rear hatch redone and both stickers will be removed, with a new Willy rear sticker going on I believe.

Looks amazing mate, well done Darren (again!). Big respect.

He was indeed. Nice guy and only 22.

I did my very best to sell this site to him and the benefits of knowing yourself!! ;-)

6th'd! :lol:

I disagree with all 6 of you! :P

That car has been to and done it's laps of the ring so wears it's sticker with pride!! No better way of showing people you actually use your car rather than just drive round the UK in it! :wink:

my humble opinion for what its worth, is the car looks truly amazing, and very envious, hope my 3 looks similar overtime!

Surely whether the cars been build or bought, there is obviously a huge amount of love, passion, detail and expertise has clearly gone into this cracking car, which I believe is used and sometimes abused, not just paraded!

and at the end of the day its saved for another day for us to admire, take inspiration from! and the owner to cry over when he gets the calculator out! Hats Off!

Sermon over :D

Bit difficult for anyone to compete when you've got a team of guys preparing the cars for you!? Money always talks eh?!

As last year their was a Mercedes Benz that you could have eaten your dinner off the underneath (it was truly Awesome) & it lost to that bloke & his team of people looking after his Ferrari! :roll:

Thanks for your comments guys - I'll post some pictures up in the photos sections from the show when I get them downloaded over the next couple of days...

As for the 'ring sticker - my choice I'm afraid - I'm proud that the car has been there and been round.

As I've said before, the car is not 100% perfect, there are some small items that are my choice (stainless manifold for instance) but if it inspires more people to restore their Williams' and if people enjoy looking at my car then I'm happy!

looks mint mate....as you say ring sticker proves its a 'driven' car.......these cars are reknowned as being a 'drivers car' after all...keep up the good work and keep the flag flying.
