Re: Monty's car for sale :- Sutherland Green 948cc 1961 Mk1 Deluxe Countryman

Very pleased to report that "Monty" has recently moved under his own steam for a short distance. Martin (his new owner) has been keeping Derek busy sending new repair panels and other goodies which he's stockpiling ready to begin fitting in the warmer weather next year. Meanwhile the mechanicals are...

Re: Coventry Transport Museum 28th October

Dave/everyone, I'm very disappointed to say I won't be able to join you but please will someone send me an account of the day and some photos as soon after the event as possible. I can then try and get them into the next FN.

I hope that the meeting is the success it deserves to be.

Re: Val's on Youtube!

Happy Birthday, and we all hope you return to full health very soon, Maya.

Thanks for waving the A40 Farina flag at that very well attended Show. I watched the video and am in awe at the commentator's knowledge.

Wessex Group meeting today

Well, Sunday 8th October actually. Beautiful weather, all the usual suspects turned up, around eight A40s among too many moderns taking too few parking places. The mood was quite sombre as we all realised this was the final meeting at Chilworth after 35 years. One member, Mark Johnson, has very kind...

Re: Bob High RIP
