Gatwick is only ten minutes further down the M23/A23, so your plan is sound. Let me know and I can arrange for my chauffeuse to have you picked up from Gatwick station (South terminal). Is Gibb still intending to come along? Any other takers? Nordic? Chrisgr31?

OK I'll remember to type some thing next time !!!!!!!  Yes Andy, still intending to attend, and photograph this extravaganza.  Any way of enabling embibement and travell would be most welcome.  Give me a ring with further details.

OK, after the small interruption to service, I can now report on the Commer Coming Out Party

It was a lovely English summer day on Monday.  In the heart of rural Sussex the beloved Commer made its first official appearance of the year.  It was accompanied by many other vehicles of note, which had all turned out to wish it well for LM this year.

First pictire just after arrival at the show ground:

After some delay (a few beers) the roof erection squad got to work

Giving rise to a fully erect Commer

At first I suspected that Robbo had sent along a supporter, but it was someone else:

Something for Mr. Harper to get interested in

And again perhaps

And now for Steve Brown's homage to the Commer.  An original 1965 Cobra.  This one was race tuned engine delivering 500 horses, and the blasted ground shook when it fired up.  Awesome

And the engine from the same

A selection of other exotica made the pilgramage as well

Nice pics Gibb. Shame I couldn't make it.

Even some old Lm veteran types made it.  Actually the one in the middle has been driven round the Bugatti circuit.
