Lord Burley Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) I thought some of you may appreciate this.Yesterday was our last gathering for 2008 at the Manor Farm Barn in Southfleet Kent.Amongst the usual exotica at these events,my mate decided to bring along his old V8 Ford Pilot.I was going to bring the Jeep.But it was way to cold.But opted for the Landrover,and Lisa bringing along the Corvette instead. This is an original unrestored model.Built in 1951.Which i believe could have been the last year of production.I bet a few of the older ones on here have had one of these?. Like with all old cars a bit of a job driving it compared to modern stuff.But a sense of occasion all the same.
