    Hello to you all. Hope your enjoying your Sunday. Day of rest Sunday Roast, Strawberries and Cream a spot of tennis etc etc.

    Well, not this Sunday, because I went to a car show some 15 miles from us at the Royal Bath and West Showground Shepton Mallet.

    Was a good array of cars, I specifically focused more on the wagons here for you all to feast your eyes on.

    Enjoy.

    PIC 1 and 2 the drive there, bit of rain through the country lanes, PIC3 A stunning Morris Minor Traveller, Dorothy in the line-up between a Saab and a TVR, and a rare Hillman Imp Estate.

    If thats Ford Prefect, it needs a towel (only fans of Douglas Adams books will understand).


    I love the 69 Dart Swinger and the Morris Traveller. That Caprice wagon looks great as well. Thanks for sharing the pics.

    I read in Roger Moore's autobiography that he owned a Volvo like the one he drove in "The Saint", during the time it was filmed. Great bunch of cars over there, must have been a really interesting show!

    I love that little Hillman Imp. I remember seeing one or two over here in the states back when they were new. Not too many of them sold here though.....
