British Day Canberra

[sean sherry]

Canberra would give Kings School event a run for its money. Not in sheer size but in the variety of pre and immediate post War models
. A row of Lagondas and Armstrong Siddleys for instance. Plus many others. well worth the over night trip.

It's a great day. I went last year in the Phantom V but too busy at work this year.

It would seem that the status quo, or this situation, seems to happen with the Mercedes Sydney Club as well. It's been some years since I attended the Canberra Concours, but the variety of cars and models, particularly older types seems to be a step or two above what we have.

Mind you, if one analyses this year's display at Tempe in more detail, there were in fact some really beautiful cars on display - and in well neigh perfect condition as well. So, I guess one shouldn't really complain.......The 6.3 Coupe that I displayed on behalf of one of my customers carried off best in class, and his Silver Grey 600, although not a winner, certainly attracted much attention on the day.

Well yes Styria, they are all worth while. I for one, am always pleasantly surprised at the numbers and variety of Cars, Trucks, machinery, etc, that are at the Country areas displays. The Blacktown? Steam Rally comes to mind. It has everything. (Is Blacktown correct ?)

 

[Styria]

Ahem Sean, there are no more black sheep......only white ones. Wasn't there someone not so long ago who thought that the BLACK part of TOWN could be deemed offensive or racist and suggested a change of name ? Regards. Styria

Maybe it is Campbell Town Steam Rally ????????
When I lived in America in the early sixties Coffee was either "Regular" or "Coffee without milk" never Black.
But better not to go there, discussion I mean.
