I'll start off, I didn't really go to take photos, spent too much time jawing and then everyone set of for the circuit and i had to go. Lovely turn out, nice to see some early cars as well as the regulars
Always nice to see OLO,
Lovely Grantura. Sorry the rest is just engine bays so I know where bits go!!

OK, you asked for it!
Lovely older Grantura restoration
Vixen engine bay for useful throttle arrangement on a 32DMF Weber - Old style cortina manifold with no threads for the throttle bracket. I think this is original for the VIxen series one and maybe early Series 2. The car is what looks to be a very nice early series two
Same engine bay with nice fan shroud. Don't know how old that is but looks good
Odd block drain. I've never seen one of these on a Vixen before
Same car again. Nicely done updated coolant filler. you can also just see a clever solution to losing the oil dipper. Attached to the dynamo by a spring.
This is the Grantura's door lock. I took this because it has the same Zephyr locks as my Vixen and I wanted to see how the owner had dealt with the screw arrangement. Looks like it has been updated.
Didn't really get a chance to take more photos because I arrived late and, as I say, after a good chat, I had to get off home. 6 hour round trip!!
