Wonderful set Chris (always). I especially like the vintage surfer with the matching shirt and side panels! Love the selfie too, with Woody in the frame as well. Nice.

Excellent set Chris. That '49 ford is just too cool.

Thanks @Pete Askew - The range of 'Hawaiian' shirts on display with the Woodie crowd was quite something - seems to be part of the scene - And no, I don't have one!

Wonderful shots Chris

Thanks @Aldous Lau

Thanks @Glenn Clabo - You'd be in heaven at an event like this, as there are literally hundreds of vehicles in this condition on display - various makes and models of course, just great to see.

Oooo you cheeky chappy - I covered that already in my intro!

 

[Pete Askew]

A friend always used to described the Morris Traveller as a half-timbered car. But I think the only associations they had with surf was the square deal kind!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Here you go @Pete Askew - a little British Moggy Woodie from yesterday, complete with surfboard

 

[Pete Askew]

Excellent Chris, thanks. I trust the surfboard was carved out of solid mahogany!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I hope so based on the 'For Sale' price on the car - they only wanted $25,000!

 

[Pete Askew]

A snip - I'm amazed they made LH drive versions though (or was it a conversion?).

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I've seen both I think @Pete Askew - not sure if this was original, but with all the dials in the middle of the dash, it's not that hard!

 

[Pete Askew]

True I guess.
