Busy White Lion meet

After an enjoyable trip last month, we found ourselves back at The White Lion Antiques centre again this morning for the Classic breakfast meet. Rolling in an hour later than before we were directed towards the back and had a perfect view as the next cars came in. Parking alongside us for the morning was a gleaming Elan in Gold Leaf F1 colours.

A quick trip to the outdoor breakfast bar saw me furnished with a sausage and bacon bap to chew on before we went for a walk about. There are obviously a lot of regular cars to this meet, but also plenty of new comers too. The guest marque was Sunbeam, with several shiny Alpines parked in a line, E Types were also there in big numbers.

Cars from all eras were well represented from this gleaming 1934 Nash, Lily was a hgue fan of the dickie seat out back. To a very 70s Dolomite.

After a quick chat with fellow Camper owner Harry we headed inside the antiques centre for  nose round before I had a look up the back field as more cars arrived. It was nice to see more modern classics mixing with the traditional wire wheel brigade. There were two Honda NSX out today, a 1990s classic.

We had one final sweep round before heading home for an afternoon of motorsport with the BTCC and F1 filling the rest of my day. Trundling out behind this 60s Plymouth. Another enjoyable morning.
