We had an enjoyable few hours at the Alexandra Place Classic Car show last week. It's a small show and has been having a bit of an identity crisis recently. This year was enjoyable, not as busy as usual but all the non-car related stuff seems to have gone and there was quite relaxed atmosphere.
A couple of nice Mercedes for sale, a tidy manual 280SE 3.5 Coupe here for £35k (!) the highest asking price I've seen for one of these. It looks like the market have realised what great cars they are to own and use. Also a very straight looking 230S for £10k a strong price but a very nice looking car.
On the TR front there was a very big TR Register stand and some decent looking cars. Star of the stand was a Blue TR4a modelled on Jack Drew's blue TR4 before he wrote it off. A nice fast road car was the result, some pictures below...
It always leaves me asking when will London get a show to rival Retromobile or Techno Classica??
I also found a completely wonderful LED light socket extension.
