We went, we saw, we nearly conquered. According to the Goodwood Estate more than 100,000 people passed through the Stony Dell area during the meeting out of the 200k attendance making Ol' Sharky the most seen Healey in Europe this year. We got no sales on a Bedford chassis but are discussing an Alfa A12 replica transporter. Also had several guys wanting me to drive their racecars down to Classic Le Mans in two years time. Guess they haven't quite absorbed the 8 miles to the gallon (imperial) yet. One very nice gentleman, who sat in the cab with me whilst discussing a build, on being told of the 1950's levels of noise, vibration and harshness said to me " Don't worry old boy, my man will drive it to the track!" How the 1% live!
We have been invited back to display on drive in front of Goodwood House for GRRC Members Day on August 3rd.

....and maybe my next Bedford build. Nothing says 'Don't cut me off' than a replica battlefield nuke
