Brett,

Thanks for posting the video. Pretty good turn out of English Fords.
We went to the Dixon British car show yesterday. Total of (6) EnFos.
We had quite a few of old farts too. I will post some pictures later.

There must be more Enfos out there, just have to entice them out somehow?

I hadn't attended the meet since the mid 90's. I'd forgotton what a beautiful place Van Dusen is.

I met a few old friends and talked to a lot of interesting spectators, one fellow in particular who went through the details of how his son was conceived in the back seat of a 105E :shock:

I was joking with my wife they should have a best restoration under $5,000 category :wink:

Quite right, did you come and say hello to the "old farts"?

Wow, I am surprised that it is only 430? In the recent past it has been typically a lot more.

I see that Cliff Jones had his MKII wagon there.
Who owns the Anglias?

The white Anglia belongs to a local fellow Nick Woodhouse, it has quite a little racing history.

The blue 105e belongs to our own Dave Collis

The winner of the group was Les Foster's Thames

The second place Thames belongs to (Butch) Roger Holmberg. You see the top three vehicles in this photo.

And then there was me.
