Alan built and then drove EKA 799Y for many years, visiting many venues and Club meets. He has recently sent the Club his collection of photographs from his early Marlin days, and John (Mulvaney), Ben (Caswell) and I have had great delight in sorting through them and trying to date and place all the venues.
The Club’s “Annual Meetings” started at the Green Man, Bishops Stortford, and were moved later to Meriden in Warwickshire, before Stoneleigh became the AGM venue . There are sets of pictures from all of these, and also Newark, Capesthorne, and Fleetwood.
Apart from the obvious “how we looked in those days” thoughts, there are some great car shots.
Thanks to these we have identified at least 8 Roadsters and 3 Berlis which were not already in our records – and Ben particularly is delighted to see so many Triumph based cars which are new to him.
Here are a few general pictures which give a taste of how it was.
Predictably I need to finish with an appeal to all and specifically our “longer term” members :
Please check your cupboards, drawers, and filing systems. I am sure many of you have photographs taken years ago which would be of great interest to current members and of use to the archive.
My details are in Pitstop, please get in touch soon.
PS some of you may recognise your cars, if you would like copies of the photos please let me know.
