12-13th July 2008 - Ardingly Historic Vehicles Show

[Karl]

My "mini-el" and one of my Sinclair C5's will be on display in the micro-car section at this years show :------->  http://www.ardinglyvcvshow.org.uk/

It's not easy getting a space at this event, but I'm hoping to eventually get a proper C5alive display at future shows here. There is usually a large crowd so a good opportunity to "spread the word" about Sir Clive's finest plastic trike 

For those that have not been before, it is a massive show and well worth a visit

My vehicle pass for this event has arrived , so I will be there 

Martin might be attending on the Sunday as well, so if you are in the area - pop in and say hello

Good Luck today

Hope everything goes well

I think you are guaranteed a winners medal in the Gazebo Origami Class 

[Karl]

so far so good...

The threatened rain failed to appear..,which was nice, plus the C5 and the mini-el attracted a lot of attention.  I've been talking so much I've got a sore throat, hopefully a few beers and a kebab will sort that 

Back tomorrow for day 2 of the event

Some photo's from today, taken before the show opened so there's no people walking past getting in the way

Quite a varied collection of vehicles, plus there are autojumble and various trade stands.

I also met a nice gent who makes electric locomotives using Sinclair motors....and throws away the gearboxes 

Having had a word, hopefully from now on he will dispose of them in my direction  If that happens, today will have been very worthwhile 

For some weird reason, the really small caravan was my favourite !   Although I also loved the Bond Bug...and the jeeps....and the army lorries..
