Folks
Just to let you know I've just spoken to the organiser at Nuffield and they're looking forward to seeing us on 18th August.
Arrival after 10am - Chris Marshall and I should be there slightly before that.
Sadly the cafe facilities will not be open though, so if you're coming please bring drinks and a picnic. There are numerous excellent places at Nuffield for eating al fresco.
Now around 20 cars coming, we can take more.
See you then
Nick

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :evil:
Well, due to the delivery of wrong parts too late in the day to swap for the correct ones (wrong size fuel pipes for my injectors whilst I have the inlet manifold off for a valley gasket) I will be at work tomorrow putting my car back together :|
Hope the day goes well and there are cameras about
Maybe next time :wink:Hi All,
I just wanted to thank everybody who helped organise this event and also those who turned up for making this a really nice day out. Although the weather didn't cooperate, it was a really nice drive and when I got there everyone was really chatty, friendly and helpful, so well worth the drive from Cambridgeshire .
Thank you all!

Despite the weather a nice day - really interesting to see how Lord Nuffield lived. Got there first so a solitary wait for a bit, but a good showing later. Drive back was eventful. Got caught right in the middle of the torrential rain storm while I was heading down the A34 - great fun!

Yes it is Dave, it's mainly pre-war. The lady who co-ordinates the premises is talking about some of the walls which were repainted in the 1960's being put back as they were. It's pretty enchanting. Lord Nuffield (William Austin) died in 1963.

Just a quick photo of the house I stood heavily shielded under an umbrella whilst everyone went on a tour of the house.
You certainly can't predict the elements, and we did draw the short straw, but still had over 20 cars there yesterday.
Thankyou to everyone who came
Cheers
