Lots and lots of Bedfords, in all shapes and sizes.
Lots and lots of Bedfords, in all shapes and sizes.
Interestingly there were also two Bedford camper vans!
And this big Bedford camper
We also had fire trucks
There were a lot of International trucks there as well.
The Vauxhall club came along as well. Including this wonderful 100 year old example.
And this lovely one from 1938
Wandered back to Roger to find he'd found a parking buddy.
More Bedford trucks!
It kept lightly raining on and off during the day, so the sky keeps changing in these shots.
There were other brands of trucks as well.
I love a Commer truck, they have nice faces on them.
Bedfords were pretty damned stylish too
This is a commercial vehicle show, and that also means buses!
What a commitment, to privately own a bus. You need a heck of a lot of room to store one.
This Chev truck from 1928 was looking great
My favourite buses were there, the Flxibles!
The Chrysler club came as well
Parking tactically to avoid the river
Chryslers really don't seem to have any shared design language to them.
They came out in good numbers for the day
Still more Chryslers, along with the occasional Dodge.
One for @KiwiEV an EV Chrysler! I like seeing more classics being converted.
That beautifully restored wagon was there as well, the one I saw only a few weeks ago.
Even more Chryslers! They had a great turnout.
Yo, I heard you liked trucks so I put two trucks on your truck.
This blue and red truck has won best in show previously. It's a stunner.
Poor Harry, first time he's been left on the trailer at a show.
I love an Imp!
The great thing about this show is all classics are welcome.
These Chev trucks are bloody enormous
The SES put on a demonstration, showing how they remove a driver from a vehicle post crash. It was an excellent display.
The sun came out from time to time, and the rain stayed away.
This is my favourite truck from the show because what a story!
This truck is in great hands
Yo, I heard you liked trucks so I stuck these Bedfords on your truck!
That's one way to tow a caravan?
I love that some people really love their trucks and look after them so well.
This little Vauxhall Viva was looking great
I would need a big purple furry hat to drive this
This is a Viva Brabham, which has an interesting story:

We wandered back to Roger and his companion, the Troopy.
It was time to go home, and Roger happily took us there. He runs so nicely, he must be enjoying life in Australia.
