The Hillman is like a weed growing from the earth that it sits on, for me the pick is the Austin Meteor. When I was a 10 year old living in Banksia a guy around the corner from me had a BRG one, drove it every Sunday to Church & back home.

The Hillman is obviously a rat rod with all its scunge. It has air springs.

The 28 A7 of David Grear is out of Whyalla.  He has a nice 'after' version too. Even navy blue.

I am told that and a little tractor? attracted more lookers than anything else.

Tims Meteor has been a long term project. David also owns a very nice yellow one that has been around a long time. Both A7CSA members.

Except there's no '1955 Prefect' there at all...

 

By that time the 100E was well in production. 

 

And those Jensens, is there enough to make up a 'jangle of Jensens'?

Wonderful! Echunga is such a small village, a couple of shops, one pub, my brother moved there from the UK in 2008, I have visited once. Will have to ask him if he went to this, looks fabulous..great pics!

1955 Jaguar XK140.........N Hurd

That's an interesting number plate for an XK140 (which this definitely is)

[fredeuce]

I find the name attributed to the red XK140 interesting .  That would have to be Noel Hurd the original pilot of the Globe Products Elfin 400.

Noel is the big chap in shades behind the car.

And will the purists and thought police can Noel for having radial tyres and an electric fan on the car?

I trust these will be complementary to Lynton's fine photographs. Alas I cannot caption them all but I'll do my best.

An immaculate Champ. Looked like it had just been delivered to Aldershot Barracks

 

And its compact, lightweight Rolls-Royce engine

Alec, alas no. There were a few nice P3s and a couple of others but I didn't snap 'em! If you're Rover man you may appreciate hearing there's a quite nice P4 110 running around Victor Harbor. A rare beast these days. Seems like a daily driver, even. I happened upon it sans camera a while ago. I'll picture it if I see it again.

[Gary Davies]

Not exactly sure, but he was quietly humming "Oh lord it's hard to be humble..." as he wandered around the display.

I would love to see a picture of the Victor Harbor P4 110.  

 

May I ask the 110's  colour/s please?

The centre mirror is at a strange angle as well.....perhaps the driver does a bit of historic racing?

[Lee Nicolle]

Gary, someone loves that PA Vauxhall. The E series in the background looks very original.

I do LOVE the efficient looking exhaust on the Champ!

The SP250 is a bit different and fairly rare too.

Three different style designs in one car!! The VP1500

The Snipe is big enough and havy enough to use as a tent peg for a FAR bigger tent!
