White Lion, bigger and better

After a bit of a break over the winter (for us, not the meet!) We headed back along the A30 to ever growing White Lion Antiques meet. Aiming for a 9:30am arrival we were twenty minutes early and a good job too. The carpark was already full with just spaces reserved for the feature marque, Jaguar. After a an embarrassing wait as the height barrier was unlocked (note to self to bring a lower classic next time!) we were shown to the overflow field.

With a porky bap tucked away in my belly it was off on a walk round. Lily led the way up the field taking in Lancias, Truimphs and some American muscle.

Back on the tarmac it was the turn of the Jaguars to shine, with the longest line of E-Types I've seen for a while along with some exotica in the shape of a brace of Ferraris and a Lamborghini.

Round the far side of the carpark the Delorean drivers had spread their doors with four of the Back to the Future stars lined up.

With the others resting in the Camper I did one final walk round before we headed off. The new F-Type looked stunning in orange and a wingless Plymouth Roadrunner sounded glorious as it burbled in.

I shifted Lily from my seat and we cruised out. The weather could have been warmer, but then I doubt we would have got parked up!
