That's something Abbie and I should really try and do next year. Instead 5 hours at York Designer outlet getting wedding gear. Elvington so near but so far away :roll:

The mystery machine in the last pic looks very much like an A.C Ace.

Went to the local Rescue squad fund raiser car show this weekend and there was a guy there with the convertible version of this car. What I found strange was the bullet shaped center hub of the steering wheel. Not a good thing if you have a head on accident. Of course the steering wheel was on the left (correct) side of the car. :ha:

Now I wish I had brought my camera. :???:
