British Car Day, at Trentham Park this year, allowed Europeans to join in to increase the numbers attending. These were represented by Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, VW, Fiat and a handful of individuals.

A long time since I've seen a Fiat 128. I worked at a Fiat dealership when they were new and were a much nicer drive than the Jappas of that time. Unfortunately, like many cars of that era, they succumbed to the dreaded tin worm ! |

Another nice Triumph 2500. This one an "S", first registered in 1978. The "S" model had all the fittings of the PI (injected) model but with an up-rated carburettor engine similar to that fitted to the TR6 sports car and, of course, the alloy wheels, as shown.. |
