I toyed with the idea, but then semi-forgot. (Probably just as well given the number of fog- and ice-related road accidents reported this morning.)

Nice Merc Reg, I have always found this variation with the clear glass and 5 spoke wheels a tricky one to find.

You see plenty of them with amber glass so it's always nice to find the clear glass variation. :D

But you did also get a first look at my blue #25 Cortina, with regular wheels. It will be more than fiver, but not actually sure how much more at this point!

Kempton last Sunday was the busiest I've seen it in years. It seems to be the most up and down of all the fairs I attend, but I believe the last NEC fair also had a record attendance. All bodes well for the future, at least for the larger fairs.
