Brian Marshall of Wheelbase Models very kindly invited Phil an I to attend the show with just one claws, to help him out on his stall. That's fine by me. Here I am with Brian looking on hopeful customers to buy his wares. Phil also lent a hand looking after Johns (chap in the white shirt in the back ground.) stall.
Phil used to have a Mk 1 Escort, not a Mexico like this one but a two door 1300 Daytona yellow. one of his biggest regrets is selling it. If you know where PJG585M is please Email me, Phil would love to buy it back.

Here with Duncan Pittaway the owner of the car. Duncan is holding a Hotwheels model of the car that I found for sale on Johns stall. I took the model too Duncan to see if he new there was model done of his car. He did an was given one for his last birthday. John wanted me to sell him the model, I asked Duncan if he could sign the packaging, he very kindly did, so I bought the model off John instead.

How's this for a hot rod? So low, that if the suspension gave out an inch you wouldn't need a heated seat, cuz your bum would be dragging on the floor.
Walking past the Ducati stand I was asked if I'd like to hop in a peddle car. I excepted the offer. This is beautiful, a proper scaled down version of the real car, I love it.
