Carlisle, PA Import/Kit Car - May 18, 2007

Thanks for the post. Was there Saturday. Seems as though the # of vendors and cars for sale has steadily declined over the past 15 or so years.
Still worth a visit.
 
Yes, I agree. Also, prices in the corral were somewhat depressed. A very nice TR-8 convertible listed for $10K. But after talking with the owner, he admitted that he didn't expect more than $7- $8K.

I noticed a bunch of the usual vendors missing as well (no sign of British Miles, nor John Twist).

Abot a quarter of the vendor field was used for parking. Sad. Also, looks like eBay no longer sponsors the building next to the showfield.
 
I was there Friday. I forgot to take my camera; thanks for the photos.

I bought a TR2 bumper for YankeeTR from Jim Shaw but bought nothing for myself. Mostly I talked to old friends. I couldn't go very many steps without running into an old TR friend.

My legs gave out and I never made it to the show field.

You bought that MGA Coupe, didn't you?
 
Interestingly, I purchased a walnut shift knob from the British Miles guy so he was there, but, in a greatly reduced presence and no "sign".

That was a gorgeous TR8 (green). The V8 converted orange TR7 was posted at $7400 (or was it $6400 ?). Curiously though, I never saw the hood opened for inspection.

Thanks for the photo show; I hope you go to all the Carlisle events and be sure to take the camera.

Wow, makes me wish I had made it to the show field. Of course all of those cars may not have been there on Friday. Thanks for showing the photos!
 
The British Mile Guy was in a Red Iveco truck about the 3 isle down. i talked with him for a good while on a set of rebuilt Lever shocks he had. but he only had right and left sides.

What other sides are there?
 
Wow, what a great lot of pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us. It was almost as good as being there! If the show isn't as big as it used to be I can't imagine what it must have been like before. I'll try and get to some Scottish shows this year and post the pictures so you can see what happens on this side of the Atlantic. (Not as big and not as shiny!)
I hope you are going to Valley Forge - I can't wait to see the pictures!
 
yes i caught my mistake i ment to say only right sides. it was early in the morning and my mind wasn't awake yet
 
You did have me wondering which other side they were fitted to!
