Looks fantastic OP. :thumbsup:

That must have been a blast!

I haven't been there for about 50 years - my Dad decided during a family holiday that he had to find out if our 1964 Hillman Minx would get up the Hardknott Pass. It did, just - after a speedy down-change to 1st gear (with no synchro.) :lol:

How things change!
Coupes because stunning!
