Only 4 Land Rovers in the display. A 1980 Series 3, a 1957 Seties 1, my 1975 Seties 3 and a 1988 Defender, all were short wheelbase. We were parked right at the edge of thr field and I never met any of the other owners. The weather was a bit disappointing but thr tractor pulling was great to watch.
For some reason I can't post photos. I keep getting a yellowish triangle when I try.
I am always on the look out for Whitworth spanners and one stall there had 3 small ones for a fiver. I offered a maximum of £3 and after consulting his financial adviser on the next stall, the seller wouldn't budge so I walked away. A few stalls further along I saw an open ended Britool 1 inch/7/8 Whitworth spanner. I asked the price a fiver. I paid up without haggling. Unfortunately no photo as the site won't allow me to post any.
This brings my collection of Whitworth spanners to 49 ranging from 1/8 to 9/16 in 1/16 increments plus the 1 inch ring and open ened ones. Most came from the local Men's Shed shop in town
