Malvern - Classic Car Show & Spring Spares Day 18 April 2010

hi there what time is every 1 getting there if the weather is nice i will be taken my p6 to the show
 
The public are allowed on at 0930,so they like anybody bringing a classic on site before that,
I will be getting there about an hour or so before 8-8.30.
 
Hi all,

Anybody going on Sunday that's got a good/heavy/big enough ball joint splitter they'd be willing to loan for beer money?

Got a bottom ball joint swap to look forward to next week :evil: ...and the top while I'm at it.

Cheers,
 
Ok guys, :LOL:

I will bung the arrow on it when I know what side we will be! :D

Hi, I am hoping to join you all at the show.I am getting the last bits back on my 2000tc. 8) If I have some time later I will put some photos on the forum of the nearly finished work that I have done.

An excellent turn out, for the inaugural meet of
"PILKIES CLASSIC CARNUTS AND THE CLASSIC ROVER FORUM MEMBERS"
I got there real early and managed to get us an excellent ringside display position,and the great weather,made for a good day out.
We had 2 elderly gents who dont frequent the forum,both with P6's that I spotted and invited to join us including the 5k miles from new immaculate 1971 red 2 owner car,I mentioned in cars spotted that I saw at another show!!
Another Triumph,,a TR4A with a 6cyl 2.5l motor in it.
The total line up was, 3 x TR's and 5 P6's.
Sadly my camera decided not to work,so I hope someone else .."BRI?" managed a few pics.
it would be great to make this an annual event,so put it on your calendar.

A great day out I thought. Lots of sun, nice cars, decent folk to chat to and an ice cream aswell. Well done to Pilkie for blagging a ringside spot for our gathering too. We didn't get many pictures of our cars but took quite a few in the adjacent Lotus Show which I found interesting too.

I'd certainly be keen to do a similar thing next year especially if there were more forum members going too. It's pretty easy to get to so even though it was 100 miles from home in Nottingham we did it in about an hour and a half using the motorways.

That seems a strange thing to do with a TR4A - , not quite A TR4 and not quite a TR5

Easy upgrade to make when the original 4 pot 2.1Lt engine goes bang,and easy to revert back.
If my TR6 was to go bang,and I couldnt afford the £2k for a new engine I would bung the spare V8 in it! :wink:
Luckily now I have a good spare for it! :)
 
Great day out yesterday...lovely scenery and the weather gods smiled big-time! And echoing previous posts...well done Dave for the ringside seat!

An annual event? I don't see why not! :)

Cheers all,

PS - well done Gareth with the pics!
 
Right, I know I've been a bit tardy - and Garethp6 has given me a good prod to get my pics sorted so here's a selection from our trip to Malvern.

Absolutely superb day out - so lets have more forum members next year :wink:
