| In true Devon fashion, this was a rather underplayed affair. I first heard of it from a short article in the local paper, two days before the event. It was advertised as being from 11am to 4 pm but when we arrived just before 12 it appeared as if they were just entering the end of the 'getting ready' stage. One horseshoe throwing stall was operating, a lady was standing around with (I think) National Trust details and some other stalls were setting up. | |

But, the cars! There were two lines of them, no one to explain and no notices to reveal. They stood alone in all their glory. I think the owners, who must have spent hours of time not to mention a lot of cash to get them ready, must have thought that they spoke for themselves - and they did! |

Carol had drifted off while I was taking Photos and did get in conversation with someone concerned with the Morgan sports car club. I think he was really impressed when she said she preferred the Citroen as it reminded her of Maigret! |
