A nice day out today, 250 miles of motorways (in rain ), 70 miles of cross country roads (sunshine ) following a pretty route - pre-arranged by those Hagerty guys & gals - taking in many sights with a half-way break at Sywell Aerodrome. A more eclectic mix you could not have wished for...
A small selection of photos mostly taken at weird angles due to camera in right hand with coffee/beer/soup in the other (depending upon time of day)

Looks like a nice gathering Steve, shame the rear end of that vette is getting in the way of a proper view of your E type! Seems to be quite a few Jags there tho, a good day out
I only saw three early Porsches; Helen's, an RS rep and a Speedy rep. Oh, and a couple of IB cars that I didn't snap. Funny that so many here seem to insure with Hagerty with so few turn out on the day? Didn't fancy it? Not invited?

I know very little about 'Vettes but this stood out as quite special (I voted it my 'car of the day' - there was a competition ). Unfortunately, the car didn't make it back to the start point and the driver returned in a modern (not wearing the spiffing helmet/goggles combo...)
The 'Vette was built by Scott Groves and the team at Corvette Kingdom in Norfolk....they looked after my '69 Roadster for the 5 years I owned the old girl. Plenty of photos of the 'Vette Racer on his website, and I agree - cool car.
I remember seeing this AC at a FoS auction ten year ago (I'm pretty sure it was this car) where it sold for circa 40k. I believe it sold recently for a similar figure (plus 100,000). I love AC's dearly but would never consider paying RST money for one (although would kill for a roadster this summer, any roadster). EDIT: This might well be Simon Taylor's AC in which case it wouldn't have been the one that sold at auction recently as his is in long-term ownership.
