Great day I really enjoyed that. Thank you everybody!
Happy to help Jeremy
Really enjoyed driving the 356 after a break. Might of taken it above 5000 rpm in 4th gear on the way home!

Jeremey - the guy bought the ADAC badges from me earlier in the day!!jeremyg wrote:And the one that got away today.
I saw a lovely ADACS badge on this stall, the one on the bottom left.
I asked the price and was about to buy it, when someone who shall remain nameless (thanks Neil) helpfully suggested I should check out some others on another stall before committing. Wise advice. Except they were not so good, and by the time I walked back over the nice one had gone.
So if you’re the lucky person who bought it, and fancy moving it on for a good return feel free to PM me!
And the one I did manage to buy from Helen (nice meeting you Helen). Can’t wait to get out and drive it.
Just to echo what everyone else was saying - what a great day it was - shame it was wet and very windy!!

Real early start, but that was a great day. Thanks to Angus for offering up the Venue. Also like to thank Graham who suggested this meet and helped me out today. Total raised for the DDK charity from the sale of Mick Temple's parts was counted in hard cash as...... £3,665.00 pounds.....!
The cashier, Mrs Temple was delighted and will pay over every penny to our charity.
Several people paid slightly over the asking, thanks to you all. If you are sitting at home thinking you didn't pay enough... i know there are a few of you.! please feel free to bump up the total.
Thanks to Angus for agreeing to buy the remaining parts at the end of the day. I am sure he will bump the figure up further once he sees the bargain price he paid.
Great day. This will be a must do in the years to come.

Great Day, some bargains had, and some missed which I should have snapped up on my first circuit. I hope this is the first of many!
P.S if anyone has a set of or single door pockets for a 1970 PM me as I now wish I picked some up having just had a look at the state of mine.

A really great day, we managed to fit everybody in and hope you sold lots!!
The final figure we raised for Macmillan Cancer Support was, including the trade stands, collecting tin and the DDk items was £606.61. A fantastic achievement!!
Lots of thanks to Angus, Amanda and all the team at Greatworth.
Here's to 2020!!!

In the 70s a big gang of us Brummies went to an open air disco not far from there...
I think this Swapmeet really won the spirit of ddk, great stuff.
