    Sure I seen one of these Dark Blue Minors or the M1/A1 just as i came off from Rotherham coming back up from the Max Power Reunion Show.
    Always a delight to see the 200BRM's.
    Another Brilliant Shuffle Sir.

      Sir, you may well have seen a Trafalgar Blue Minor, as they seem to be surprisingly common... We do like those 200 BRMs.

    Oh Sir not only a very tasty Rover 800 Coupe but a 1987 Rover Sterling. I recently found an archive photo of a visit to Companies in Northern Ireland in the 1980s by Margaret Thatcher . Mrs Thatcher was being driven in a bulletproof Northern Ireland Office Metallic Red Ford Granada 2.8L registration number JXI 1673 accompanied by a very similar Silver Rover 800 saloon, although I could not tell which trim level.

      Sir, we did enjoy ourselves very much indeed in this part. Those Rover 800s were everywhere back in the day, weren't they?

      Glad you enjoyed the Morris Minors, sir! It would not be a classic car show in this country without them. The two I have driven were both Trafalgar Blue. The brakes weren't great in either of them...

      @@lloydvehicleconsulting yes your right you have to apply a lot of pedal pressure or use the pumping method on off on off always stopped in time. My 1958 which was cornflower blue I had repainted in Volkswagen orange it sure made it stand out in the crowd got many comments Andy Allen.

      If you see the episodes of Sensible Secondhand Classics I have done on the Minors, you will see I did have a few scary moments when driving them. A popular conversion is wheels and brakes from a Marina, which had servo assisted discs at the front.

      @@lloydvehicleconsulting I guess that would be a good conversion just a point in the series two owners handbook on braking it say's it is important to use engine braking by changing down the gears to bring the car to a stop quickly best regards Andy Allen.

      I think that I would just have preferred some better brakes!

    This show is very appealing to me. Austin, Rover, MG, Jaguar, Wolseley et al were my favourite cars in days of yore.
    A plethora of MG Bs! Lovely.
    "Trafalgar Blue": what a delightful name for a colour. It would probably be deemed politically incorrect today.
    9:10 Jaguar Mk 2. 😻. With an Austin Healey and an E-Type next to it. 😍
    10:03 Fifties Wolseley "The car with its name in lights".

      Yes, Trafalgar Blue! I thought this sort of thing would be right up your street. There is an awful lot more to come, I can assure you. The 1950s Wolseleys always remind me of old 1960s police films and television series like Gideon's Way!
