Super sunny White Lion meet

After dropping Kim off at the start of yet another training walk, Lily and I decided to head down to the White Lion to see what was happening. It was kitcar and replica day, so there would be plenty of cool looking cars around. Rolling through the gate we were directed to the field, our neighbour was a huge Rolls Royce.

Wandering down the hill there was a really good variety of classics on show. MGs and TVRs, rubbed arches with Alfas and Morgan.

Into the carpark we had a look down the kitcar and replica line. There were plenty of Caterhams and Cobras with a massive McLaren and some Jaguars. While not the real deal, they were still impressive to look at.

Mid way down, Lily spied the ice cream van, a new and very welcome addition to such a warm day. With a cone in hand she was happy to let me take some photos as we walked round. The glorious DB5 convertible the pick of the bunch for me.

In the corner of the carpark, a trio of Vauxhall/Opels stood. A big Carlton with Calibra and Monza, all seemed to be owned by the same chap.

With the ice cream finished, there was time for a few more photos and a walk round the antiques centre before heading home.

A last walk up the field gave Lily a chance to take a few photos with some help. Se was a fan of the Nash and of course her Beetle!
