That'd be great save me paying to go havea look

I don't know how many times I've got to the door and then gone Nah!! not paying that much to look at cars

Tight arse.
I've been before but want to go again because they've got a Bitter Apricot P76 Executive in there that I want to have a look at.
But there's also a lot of other interesting cars as well plus plenty of cafes etc in York to enjoy a coffee & cake.

That's a nice P76, looks like a "Home on th'Range" one though.

I'm a Huge Tight Arse and proud of it

I will have to go in there one day,only took me 26 years to get to Rottnest and that was on tickets and a tour that we where given by a freind as they couldn't go,I certainly wouldn't be paying what most morons pay to go there regularly.

And a manc would have taken an engine home for their train set.

Yes, thanks Dazz.
A couple of us (and a dog) went up but just in one car (white P76) today.
Had a bit of lunch which was good and two of the worst cups of coffee imaginable (York is not known for its Baristas), went to the museum and had a look around, especially at the Bitter Apricot P76 that is in there. It's a late build (6/74) and came from the factory with Force 7 wheels (from the stillborn coupe) and a LSD, is a one owner and has low kms.
Being in a museum it has copped a bit of wear and tear body-wise, but still a nice example.
Then we headed home just in time for beer o'clock.

Nice lot of photos, Dave...

Seeing that Morgan 3 Wheeler bought back memories of the 1986 Mother Hardy's Bike Rally I attended.

A replica Morgan 3 Wheeler turned up having driven all the way from Perth....apparently unregistered!

It was powered by a Moto Guzzi V Twin engine....

Great pics.

Thanks

Dave, I thought that p76 looked a bit rough. I thought museums were supposed to preserve cars??? Pretty much all the cars in the Launceston museum are in Pristine condition. I'll show you when you visit us ... hint hint.

The cars are in whatever condition they are donated or bought in minus wear & tear I guess.
Although not concours, it is actually quite a nice example although if it was mine I would want to repaint it.
Hint taken.
