      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Managed to obtain full hospitality tickets through some contacts (so I didn’t have to part with ~£300) to visit the Salon Privé Concurs event at Blenheim Palace this week.  I drove down the night before, stayed near Witney at the Bird in Hand, a lovely pub with rooms, excellent food.  The next day was a marvellous day out, with some fabulous cars to enjoy, along with all you could eat and drink, while negotiating a new deal on a yacht, helicopter or a Boeing Business Jet.  OK, I didn’t do...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most recent addition is an Early T2 VW Bay Window camper with a Dormobile roof. Expensively restored by the previous owner it has a 1776cc twin port motor on a pair of single choke Dell&#039; Ortos.<br />

Current restoration project is the Ford Pilot V8 Woodie. A UK car but bought in Holland as a dismantled, abandoned project. Slowly sorting the mechanicals and metal bodywork. Will almost certainly outsource the woodwork. This is how it looked in the 1960s....<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Maybe nice to get as many photos of early BMWs (or indeed of other plumage) as we can. Classics or just plain old...<br />
<br />
Past or present possessions.<br />
<br />
I know we didn&#039;t have digital photos in the olden days but perhaps you can take a photo of a photo as I did here:<br />

here&#039;s my MGB at Prescott Hill Climb.<br />
You won&#039;t be surprised to hear no course records were broken.<br />
She&#039;s now in hibernation, will wake her up at Easter.<br />
