^ yes - 67 looks right.

Would the green MGB be a 1967? It has reverse lights but no sidemarkers:

Thanks!

I've come across the Sprite before, so I knew that one. The silver TR3 was not parked in with the others, it was in the adjoining parking lot, and it was a well-worn driver.

Sorry a typo in mine above about the Minor pickup
The 6cwt (62+, 1198cc)

Should read 1098cc

Pale blue Midget with #66 is Oct 69 - black plastic grille, normal rear arches - before Jan 72 larger round rear arch. Headrests also confirm 70+. Wires are owner add-on.

Red MGB roadster with large alloys (next to the Mini) is 68 only (small sidemarkers, but still with the early front sidelight position - it moved closer to the grille for 69 - well to be pedantic, it didn't as they fitted slightly larger plastic covers so it looked as if it moved). I think headrests are newer update.

Red MGB roadster on steels with shiny mirror hubcaps is pre April 67 - no reversers

The wide-mouth TR3s are TR3A (or maybe rare US-only TR3B - impossible to split). The red one with show-off alloys and white hood (British definition!) and no front bumper is however plain TR3.

Blue Sprite fits 65 date, but rare to have steels this late. But it looks pretty.

Pale blue MGA with boot rack and large alloys is 56/57-ish Mk1 - small rear lights, but not the teeny ones first fitted in 55

If the white TR6 with black wheels is a 74, there's been some retro-bumper witchcraft, but wheels are 72+

- LHD Riley 1.5s very unusual - they didn't export many anywhere. It's Mk1 for external boot.bonnet hinges. Unusual colour - I don't think original, but not definite.
- 1957 Morris ¼-Ton O-Type Pick-up - a few migrated to US, but penny numbers although we've 5 on the database. The 6cwt (62+, 1198cc) didn't make the journey as far as I know.
- the blue Minor
We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided
MORRIS MINOR 1000 1970
Registration number: CPE 327H
Body type: Saloon
Colour: Blue
Date of first registration: June 1970
Exported 1 May 2008
- the others in your album - pretty much what I'd expect from the event title. The only odd thing was the lime green Mini with stripes and logo as if a special edition, but it's not one I recognise, and with LHD might have been something for Europe such as Mini 1000 E. Otherwise looks like a boggo Mini 1000 (although twin fillers an owner tweak), Oct 84 12" wheels and arches but not Sept 85 side indicators.


I was hoping you'd chime in. Fixed the Morris pickup description. I wasn't certain which model, and didn't go down to the bottom of the model list here.

The one car I missed (I passed it on the drive there) was a beautiful burgundy XKE 2+2 Coupe.

I'm still working on year ID's for a lot of them. A few of these I've seen before. I think I have the blue Midget wrong, but I have seen that one before. It looks more like a 1968-1969-ish.

I was surprised that I didn't see some of the big Austin-Healeys that I see out and no Bug-Eyes. And there were no Lotus, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin. Also, I never see any TR7/TR8s. The other show I went to right after, there were two more MGB's, a TR6, a XJS Cabrio and a US-spec Defender.
