After Allan Crosby had informed the group of forthcoming regional events (the “parish announcements”), Anthony Shuker took over for what turned out to be an entertaining evening. Members had been asked to bring along photographs of their past cars (or other vehicles), and these were projected onto a large screen for those present to guess the owner.
R5 members can claim to have owned a very varied selection of cars, ranging from a Tyrell F1 to an early Morris Minor split-screen pick-up, with a number of rally cars and more conventional classics thrown in for good measure. Although most of the cars had now passed on to new owners, it was interesting to note the upward trend in the classic car market; as with Porsche, the highest values are attributed to completely original cars.
Thanks to all who brought along interesting photographs to make the evening a success.
