Crikey, it doesn't seem like a year since we last saw this great spectacle. This year we had to travel to Skipton to see them up close and personal during the lunch break at the Craven Heiffer Inn.
Whilst it was cool, the sun was shining and it wasn't raining, so the crowds were out in force. Moving around was difficult, as was taking pictures & video. We decided to leave the ZR parked up as getting out was too much effort s0 I don't have any 'on the road' pictures or video.
106 cars started on Friday morning. This morning only 92 set off, and there were some more missing by lunchtime. One source said 10 didn't make it through the morning, but we weren't keeping count.
One of the fallers appeared on a flatbed.

Not all those still running were in the best of shape.
I asked the driver what happened. His reply was broken spring, axle moved, brakes automatically applied (rod operated brakes) ooops. Thankfully nobody was hurt and the car was still running.
This car attracted a lot of attention. By the looks of it, it is an unrestored example, or if it has been restored it was a long time ago. They're only original once.
