A colleague of mine was co-driving a DeDion – didn’t see him. Something fell off his ignition system in Crawley which delayed him for half an hour. When he described the problem I was reminded of the bit in Genevieve when someone jokes about it needing a new flint. I had to move on before he got to Staplefield.
It was a lovely sunny morning but really cold – so cold that in fact I took no photos of the old brass cars – one hand in my pocket and the other wrapped round a coffee cup. The good ones were going too fast down the hill for me to get my phone out in time.
I saw no Tractions and no RWD Citroens. There was a nice Ami there which I didn’t snap – probably will next year.
I did take a few photos…
This was the oldest Citroen I saw all day…

This Delage used to be a saloon. It belongs to a man called John Dudley who likes a good breakfast.
