That's a collectors piece itself !
June Caffeine and Classics - this meet, despite the dodgy weather, still attracts cars we haven't seen before - and many regulars of course.

Not the same car as above! Same plate when owned by Mal Clark. I believe this car went to Japan (V8 Rover power?).

Great a Singer Sports - were they called a "Le Mans" believe or not I have a ' Dublo Dinky ' " 00 " scale model of that.
Dinky introduced Dublo [ 00 = double O ] for their 00 Railways and also to combat " Matchbox ", don't think that lasted too long as Hornby got taken over.
Then later on Mattel seemed to have picked most of small model and railway manufacturers..
This is supposed to be a Le mans
Yes Roger. I had that model too. Singer Roadster 1500 I believe. Sold it, along with a good percentage of my Dinky collection to finance a cruising habit...
Now started listing a whole swag of stuff. Time to downsize the various piles and collections, so as not to burden the surviving family when I do finally shuffle off. Part of the 'Advance Care Planning' philosophy.
I haven't exactly got one foot in the grave just yet, but after my wife's heart attack a year ago, it caused a radical shake up and an 'Advanced Care Planning' session highlighted just what others may have to deal with.
Dealing with my parent's stuff in the UK was a major mission and although there were some collectible treasures, it was several week's hard work.
Quite frankly, I don't want to burden the family here and there has to come a time when you have to sit back and take stock. Having already taken stock, I realise that even listing the stuff is a huge time consuming task, let alone disposing of it!
Just to get Roger dribbling... (Yes, you may steal them...) Goodwood Revival 2009.

If I hadn't had my brother with me, and a need to get to Christchurch (UK!) for the Chris Barber concert, I would have spent more time here in this external car park, taking photographs. I'll keep my eyes open this year.

Gunna steal the whole set,
Cheers Ray and " Ripleys believe it or not " I should be at Caffeine and Classics July, in Auckland for a few weeks, the MX5 which has stayed here needs a warrant - travelled about 40km since the last one, has a flattish battery - the power not the style, so here is hoping I get there .. :cool:

Looks like one of the 2 or 3 Rolls Royce powered Healeys beside the 100S's ??

Ray, what a choice Chris Barber or Austin Healey, I like Jazz [and Blues too ] so understand a hard call.
Thank you for the photos - they will probably appear on the Austin Healey 100S Facebook page - with due acknowledgement very soon, like tomorrow !!
I have a double CD for you then Roger - the "Down Under Tour 2000". (Chris Barber & Kenny Ball bands) They left me with the unsold stock - as a thank you for assisting with CD and programme sales on the tour. I'll try and remember to bring it along.
