Must have been quite a few unofficial vehicles as well, I counted 5 Champs (not including mine which snuck in on Friday).

I really enjoyed my ride in the Champ. I have never traveled so fast backwards.

My pleasure Keith, although I do feel terribly guilty for making you wet your pants....

As for the Austin Champs there were only three in the marshalling area, but was a little surprised sitting in tail end Charlie's spare seat that another Champ was in the tail back behind us as we entered the showgrounds.

Isn't the truck a QL (or QLD) Bedford?

My guess is a QLD Bedford and I don't mean Queensland. Where is Richard when you need him!

Did anyone take some good photos of John Belfields Kenworth Wrecker?
A good friend is restoring one and is dirty I didn't take any photos of it.

Cheers

Hi Jeff,
I am still here in NSW. Definitly a QL, but only the GS Cargo was a QLD, cannot remember what Tony's was originally, I did help him for about 5 days back in 2000 when he was rebuilding it.

Have sent you a PM on another matter.

regards, Richard
