Battlesbridge Sunday, 30th September

#1 Post by david_lall »

Does anyone please, have a spare ticket for this show? It's full and I really want to take my Triumph & Caravan (Caravan restoration is finally finished, so I'd like to show it off before the year's end!)- the organisers tell me that I can get in on one ticket but I need to get hold of a ticket from somewhere!

I was thinking I need to post a few more pictures Alan - I just need some decent weather! Tomorrow is looking like being a right-off! If not before though, hopefully I can get to a show next weekend and take some pictures too.

That would be good, love to see it finished!

You know, I do like my caravan's and although I love our new Swift........ I do sometimes hanker for something classic............. but then the comfort and lazy bit of me takes over and sticks with the moderns!

Guess I'll have to contend with towing a modern with a classic............ (when its finished!)

My "posh" caravan behind 2.5PI estate will be, weather permitting, at Battlesbridge next Sunday. I've managed to obtain one of the tickets the organisers are now selling on eBay for charity. Not only will it be the first outing since the restoration for the caravan but it will also give me a chance to check everything really is finished before taking it to Snowdonia for a week's holiday the following weekend!

There are still some tickets available, such as this one:

Anyone else planning on going?

You should have said hello Steve! Anyway, thank you for the kind words about the car, yes it has been restored - but that was well over 50,000 miles ago and there are some signs that the car has been well used since then! The injection was also re-built, mainly using components from Prestige Injection.

The are some pictures (specially for Alan!) from Battlesbridge on the caravan blog link below
