The Poster / Flyer


The Organiser vehicles - Brian Kirk - the Bus.



Steve Abbotts, new to him Chev Pickup Truck



A very smart looking Plymouth Coupe




The French connection two Citroen B15's " Big 15 " - according to their Rego stickers Not an expert but the one on the left looked bigger - It had a nice woodgrain dash, so an English built car.

They did came out as a 12 - 4 cylinder engine and a 15 - 6 cylinder engine and big 4 too !!
Need a French car expert.



The closer car is this one which would be a Big 15 ? with the 1911 cc four.
Carjam details below
Not an expert on French vehicles but I know the model did come with a Six as well.
Both cars had the big boot, not just the spare wheel on the back, and have the 4 cylinder engine.
