Heritage Weekend

So as you have guessed by now I didn't get an MOT in time for the heritage weekend. SO I sadly had to attend in my very un Land ROver like VW Golf TDI. Ah well there is always another year, and the 60th bash in June to look forward to.

I went on the Saturday to the heritage weekend, and it was a definite improvement on last year with more trade stands and some excellent talks, as well as all the Land Rovers to look at.

I must confess to being a bit gutted when I saw the display area for the series ones, right on the main concrete apron in front of the museum. Not too many either.

Some lovely vehicles and interesting ones too.

I registered for the Corgi limited edition set of 2 series 1 80" in a presentation pack HUE166 and the last 80" due in December.
Highlights for me were meeting Tim Slessor of the original 1st Overland Expedition, and seeing some of the pre pro Series ones (R3, L9)
Low point, seeing an excellent 80" rear tub for a 1950 80" (like my spares vehicle) and not being able to buy it as I couldn't get it home in the golf.

An all round great day - I'll be posting links to photos soon
