I know Basil will care, and in case anyone else cares...

I was at a car show in southeastern British Columbia (middle of the sticks, middle of the mountains too), and saw a 1951 Daimler Super Sports.

It's not the one I saw in Calgary four years ago and haven't seen since, thought it was at first.

It kind of grey in colour, British licence plate KJJ ???, he said that he's registered with the North American Daimler/Lanchester club, and he's owned it since 1974, most of that time in Saskatchewan.

I took pictures of course, on film so nothing instantaneous this time.

Basil...

I did mention about your car, didn't mention the forum (you can lash my back for that one!).

I didn't take his contact information away with me, but I have tracked his phone number as I know his name from the placard on the car. I can pass that along to you if you like, I suppose over 30-odd years of ownership he might have some tips for you, he did seem very friendly.

Should have some pictures ready by tomorrow at the latest, perhaps today if you're lucky.

Oooooohh, the bats haven't had an outing for a while.....a trip across the border before it gets too cold would do them the world of good.........
 
Picture... Not my best ever photoshoot day but this is probably the best picture I got of the car.
 
Akkk! I appreciate the picture, but you uploaded a 1Meg Bitmap! I converted it to a JPEG (about 1/10th the file size) and have reattached it in this reply. That's a really nice color combo!
