Gaydon August 2025

 

The monthly classic car meeting at Gaydon Motor Museum had come around again, so Steve Payne, Chris Miller and me decided to have a meet up and a night out.

It happened to be on the hottest day of the year, and ironically, part of the reson for the meet up was to discuss with Steve about recommissioning my air con system, so it was a HOT 61 mile drive to the venue!

I had degassed the system to remove the engine for the engine rebuild, and hadn't recommissioned it incase the engine had developed a fault and needed to come out again. As it's been a few years and miles, and all is OK, it's time to put it back together again.

Once there I was guided to a section of the event I haven't beed to before. The same happened to Chris and Steve, whereas we normally park together.

 


Steve had come in his modern Mustang as it has air con and seat coolers. Lightweight!


Chris was having starter motor issues with his Jensen, so came in his VW motorhome




After a cold drink, a cheese burger, and an ice cream for desert, we took in the sights.
