Good to see Chris and he managed to prove that one thing DDK has learnt is how to park!

The vist to Tuthill was a master stroke. Additionally always good to meet up with the DDK guys. Thank you very much indeed to the organisers of the weekend.

Those really are very low res - the originals are rather large and very high resolution! Shame I can't show you on here.

Great day Saturday, I will definitely try to make next year!
Gradually posting some pics but don’t think we were supposed to photograph some areas so will respectfully delete anything contraband 🤣

Mark and Alan must have both flashed them something on the way in. We won’t get into what!

Quite the colourful line-up of early cars, great turnout for the weekend.

Nice to see those early stickers too, some go back a very long way.

Thanks for all the pics for me and those would could not take part. :)

I was accosted on the way in and asked if I wanted to park there.


Tuthills was the highlight for me. I didn’t enjoy Boxengasse as much as I have previously (in spite of premier parking!) - I missed some of the smaller manufacturers like Kamm, and also in previous years it’s been great to see real live examples from Ruf, Singer, and Tuthills, none of whom were there this year.

It could well be a personal thing - I like to see those cars for the inspiration. And still plenty of lovely cars to looks at - I did like the Thornley kelham 356
