Bit of a change - a mid-week meet up at a venue I've never been to or even heard of before. Swettenham Arms is near Holmes Chapel in Cheshire and apparently the landlord is quiet keen on cars, so, rather enterprisingly he drums up a bit of business by allowing a couple of classic car meets mid-week during the summer. This one was organised by the Historic Rally Car Register and so attracted a good 50 or so cars, many of which have competition heritage or are still in competition use today.
Some representation from the Avenger and Sunbeam Owners' Club (www.asoc.co.uk) with 3 Avengers (one of them being a rally car), a Sunbeam Ti rally car and my Sunbeam.
Other items of interest:
Chevette HSR
Various Triumph TRs, including a TR8

And my favourite of the evening - an ex-Robert Droogmans RS200 in nice original condition
