It did rain briefly.
Mine was the only E-Type, in fact the only Jag. Others who braved the elements included a contingent of a local American Car Club, one of whom had done this to his car....
There is no excuse.....
Another car of interest was a very nicely turned out Lanchester.
When I wasn't taking photos of strange cars and other things....
...I spend my time talking to people asking about the car, usually an older chap who would always start the conversation by saying, "I used to have one of these, but I sold it for .....". So I chat to them about ther car, and the E-Type they had owned until they get bored. Some others looked under the bonnet at all the shiny bits, asking if it was a V8 or a V12. This quickly told me they were not mechanically minded so the conversation would have to remain banal.
The strangest thing was a board, leaning against the front of a Riley 1500 on which one chap appeared to have zip tied all the stuff from his garage he no longer had any use for.
I really couldn't see the purpose of this. Why would anyone display a box that once contained a Colortune kit? This chap thought it necessary to display two of them, along with a number of dead grease pumps, and assorted badges, radiator grills and horn pushes.
