We don't normally do static events as we perfer to be driving, but there are two that we do and today was the first of the year. The North Estern Club for Pre War Austins host an annual event at Newby Hall near Ripon in North Yorkshire.
This is a massive show and there were just short of 1600 cars, vans, motorcycles and military vehicles on the entry list. There were a few empty spaces around the field, probably because of the bad weather. It started to rain heavily just before we set off so we had a damp drive down. Thankfully it eased up later and apart from a couple of showers it was dry. The rain must have had an effect on public visitors too, as there weren't as many people about as previous years.
There were a good few autojumble stalls but I didn't find what I was looking for.

With the jump in and turn the keys cars of today, I wonder how many could cope with this. I'm not sure I could handle it.
Spot the odd one out.
Two different rears.
We had a great day, and met up with some people we only see once a year at this event. Even the torrential downpour on the way home couldn't dampen our spirits.
