Did anyone have a car there? I was not able to take my 'A' due to family
commitments (had to take wife, kids, in-laws to the aquarium) but at least
I was able to get there and look around.
Picked up a claimed to be fully functional dual gauge (water/oil) for $30.
Some nice 'A's there -- mostly original, although I notced a pair of HIF's
on one. There was a B with crossflow head there -- from the actual makers
of the heads in Gilroy. Interesting feature: a chain to limit engine
movement from thermostat cover to inner wing. Claimed that this was
required because engine mounts kept failing under the torque! Many of the
'B's were unfortunately rather tatty.
Some exotics -- a really nice old Jensen, a Moggy Minor, oh and a couple of
really nice Sunbeam tigers. The paint job on one of the Alpines was really
something -- unbelieveable! A Wolesley limo conversion, a few lotuses and
lotus 7 knock-offs.
Oh, and there was a bunch of some other make, can't remember the name
exactly, but it began with 'T'!. Positioned at the opposite end of the
street to the MGs!
