Congrats Mark 3rd out of 19 was a good result its nice to get some recognition for all the hard work you put in . What ... just as a matter of interest , was so better than the GTE that won first and second and was there much between the 3 cars on points .
Again congrats and hopefully might see you at Teds run next year Applause

Thanks

3rd out of 80 as that was the original short list number that then went to NEC judges decision for the Top 20 public vote at the show

A fully restored 1969 Mk1 Capri in concours condition took 2nd place and a Metro restored after his wife's death in her honour took first place, she had owned the car from new and asked it not be scrapped when she was dying so he fully restored it

I don't know voting numbers other than 71,000 people came to the show

Thanks George, there was a good Ayrshire presence at the show most of whom you know so it was great to have that local support and a few guys from here also came along, looking forward to seeing you out in your stunning GTE next year, that`s all four GTE colours in the west of Scotland now cool
