Went to Dolgellau to the 'Hwyl yr Haf' fun day. Quite disappointed that there were only a few cars there. The Seven was the only prewar car present. There seemed to be more tractors than cars.
The Seven generated quite a bit of interest though, with one 89 year old man remembering that his father had one when he was little!
A group of four boys about 12 or 13 years old then came up and asked all sorts of question including if they could sit in it, so they did and took photos on their mobiles.
Notably, the president of the Meirion Classic Car Club brought his twin cam MGA, which managed to fluff a couple of plugs after getting stuck in traffic in Barmouth, so a few of us spent a little time sorting that out, another member brought his Berkeley and 1979 Rover SD1 3500 also turned up in totally original condition with 25K on the clock One of the tractor lads brought his much used 1955 series 1 Landrover.
