Frampton
International rally 2010
In 2010 we travelled to the International rally at Frampton upon Severn, this was my first big trip with my just restored A30. This year we travelled with eight persons consisting of Erik, Hans, Harry, Fokke, Henk, Aad, Bas and myself. Because of the long trip we decided to stop at the Buckinghamshire Railway Center. This museum has a large collection of Railway Locomotives, rolling stock and other memorabilia. This also included the beautifully Restored former Oxford Rewley Road Station. We really enjoyed our visit to the museum.
At the Rally itself we enjoyed one beautiful sunny day and a rainy day with a good turn up of part traders. Sunday we packed up and travelled to Enfield pageant of motoring where we bought a good number of parts for the Austin's. There was a good tum up despite the weather.
The Austin's at theferry, we stopped for a small breakfast. Before setting off on the journey.
Henk and my father leading the way, it was a nice ride through the rolling hill's Bas really enjoyed the views through the windows of the little Austin
After we travelled a good number of miles we stopped at the Buckinghamshire Railway Center to stop and stretch our legs. We really enjoyed the nicely restored railway stock and memorabilia.
We where also invited to come and watch the volunteers hard at work on one of the railway carriage.
Can you guess which way we went?
One of the locomotives inside. It had a really nice carriage behind it.
The Dutch tent's at the International Rally. Henk's Pickup in front with my dad's Van and my Saloon behind it.
The Frampton Court, the grounds that are part of this house were the stage of the
International Rally.
The sheet metal panels that Hans made where are sold.
On one of the drives round the Severn valley we came across these people that where hang gliding. They explained that it was a popular site to start from and gain altitude. They travel as far as 150 miles. With the use of thermal currents.
My car at the bank of the Severn.
Nice Engine bay of the baby blue Austin which is heavily modified.
I really liked this sunroof built in a blue and silver A30. Other modifications included an electrically powered boot lid and seats with headrests.
It also included a 3rd brake light under the rear window. Nice location.
Enfield included a number of amazing shows. Like this jet powered trike.
I really liked this car. There where a number of really nice cars at Enfield and also there where a good number of part traders. We bough several parts for the Austin's.
The running steam engines at Enfield.
And finally we stopped at the Cross Inn. Witch is near the ferry in Harwich. This was my first time here but the food is great and my dad and Hans
come here almost every year.
