Start with Saturday afternoon, when did you last a lay-by like this ? Taken on the way up to Liverpool -







Cradock services on M6 -








Hotel Saturday evening a great looking car park I hope you agree [8D]-












































Sunday morning still at hotel -












































On to Speke -
































All lined up -




















Halfway there -





Car's Gaydon -














Love the look of this one, fresh back on the road -

















Different look, what I love about our car's they all are different -









































A ' new ' build rally car, not a lookalike but a real rally that will used on tarmac soon [8D]






































And another rally car -









































And with all good celebrations there was <b>CAKE</b> [:D]

'Our' Gaz and Harris with his bespoke decal




Oh and my chosen ride for the weekend -





All in all a great weekend, if you were unlucky enough to not attend the best TR7 event EVER then don't worry we can do it again 2054 !!


Cheers John

What a great day,never thought I'd see as many Wedges together in one place.
Thanks to all the organisers, well done to all.

John, fab photos mate. I love the Speke line up of 40 cars, looks like the end of a production line where the cars are about to go out to customers.
A favour to ask though, would you kindly email me a copy of my son popping up behind the cake please?
I think he has got the 7 bug because he is clearly looking at the Scalextric 7 and not the cake. That's my boy! I fear his Mum on the other hand would have been considering diving into the gateau!

Thanks for sharing, Calvin.

great pictures john

if you factor in the earth's rotation, we are all speeding

Love the pictures, Thanks

Great pictures John, as always [:)

Among the many interesting cars we saw over the weekend (& in Johns pictures) were JVC842V & JVC824V. Both were Canley development cars for the TR8 EFI system, one FHC & one DHC, and both in great condition. I wonder if those so similar registration numbers were just a coincidence or someone at Canley was having a little fun when registering the cars?

1980 TR7V8 DHC Jaguar Regency Red - sadly sold!
1977 TR8 FHC EFI Factory development car Inca Yellow</font id="size1">

Awesome pictures. Surely a once in a lifetime experience. I am so jealous of everyone who was able to attend this and the VTR in North Carolina.

Tony, the numbers are just a coincidence, the factory had a block of 80 JVC---V numbers, just put on in any order.Whilst checking the Coventry "N" reg numbers whilst trying to find ACG 1-4, I found more than 300 Marinas and 200 Allegros.

Oh, I will. I have thoroughly enjoyed your previous videos. Hopefully the show season is winding down and you'll get the time to do the boring stuff. [;)]
