Making new friends at Cirencester steam fair
They can be worth amazing money these things by the way if the history is right.
It was a fun relaxed show, although I realised too late that it was vintage Prescott which was really where I should have been; I spotted a Talbot going the other way but, hey-ho, we can always do it next year.
My pal Frederik was displaying his wacky Auto Union van in the classic car corral plus his DKW convertible – both very cute.
On way back to the car park I saw four or five men standing around the NSU and received the usual ‘has it got the original engine?’ routine.
They lingered waiting for me to fire it up and, luckily, it caught first touch (as it usually does, to be honest) so there were no embarrassing moments to feed Mia's scepticism.
