Thanks for posting this, plenty to look at here. I do like the Appleby Horse Fair set, especially as I went to a couple of these in the eighties. Many of the sets remind me of my childhood, ...

Thanks for your comments and support guys, much appreciated. That's the last of the automobile photographs Benedictus, unless they visit town again when I'm around.
