. . . when he went to the Kingsley Steam Rally near Bordon in Hampshire, enjoy:

We’ll start with a Mk 1 Humber Sceptre because I’ve got one of these . . . only mine is in bits . . .
Image
Hey Rock’n’Roll – it’s a Vauxhall Cresta PA
Image
Humber Hawk wearing Whitewalls
Image
Minnie the Minx
Image
Austin A35 – bigger outside than a Mini but smaller inside . . .
Image
Don’t like Sierras . . . but as it’s a Cosworth let’s take a look at the engine . . .
Image
Cheeky and quirky – Citroen Bijou
Image
P5 with a period caravan – nice . . .
Image
P5 Coupe with a period caravan – even nicer
Image
Reliant Scimitar – a combination of Ford V6 and fibreglass!
Image
MGB GT
Image
Before the Transit, there was the Thames . . .
Image
Scammell – had a Dinky model of this when I were a lad . . .
Image
Bright Yellow AEC Wrecker was once used by the Southdown Bus Co.
Image
Another AEC Wrecker – a little more subtle in red and cream . . .
Image
OOO another Scammell . . .
Image
And yet another . . .
Image
Jeep – legend has it there are a load of these which were bricked up in a viaduct in Hampshire after the war – true or urban myth?
Image
And as it was actually billed as Steam Rally, have a couple of Marshalls.

I still love this marque and I will still be around, preferred selling to breaking, as a great runner and performer"

Lovely pics Foggy, thanks for sharing. Had a Thames van for transporting race bikes about, loved it and the happy times living and sleeping in it at weekends.

The Sceptre was indeed a very nice example - I can only hope that mine will look as nice if I ever get around to finishing it . . . V8 engine and all :D
