Burbled down to the monthly Cross Hands Breakfast meet this morning at Old Sodbury just north of Bristol, parking next to another (smaller) set of pop-ups.....

The largest turn-out ever this month with almost 200 cars squeezed onto the pub car park!
A good yank showing with a Dodge Charger....

...giant Caddy....

...and a Plymouth prowler (for sale - good luck with that!)...

...as well as plenty of yank V8 transplants including a Pantera.....

... and an Austin A40.....

...with Custom valve covers....

Several fairly unusual motors including a nice Porsche 914...

...an Elva Courier...

.....and a modern kit car, an MEV Exocet...

A nice sunny morning with plenty of nice sunny people - great day!

Love the Prowler. Bit of a tame colour for it but there aren't that many to choose from.

My dad had one in burnt orange metallic that was a beautiful color when the sun hit it. We also had the matching trailer.
As they are a unique looking car they should be painted in “ high impact colors”
Many were in prowler metallic purple , not unlike the 70’s plum crazy/ In violet.

Another case of american manufacturers deciding that 'sports' cars don't need proper on-board luggage space....

Yes indeed. I could never fully understand why the all new 63 and up stingrays never had a trunk. Certainly the convertible could have easily been made to have one. My 60 had a trunk, not massive but quite useful. It’s all very well stuffing things behind the seats, but quite annoying.
I remember a car buying trip to Belgium/germany where we went in my 65. Very annoying as the soft top had to be up all the time, backs of the seats got damaged. Never again.

That’s why I’ve always like the rear luggage rack on C3’s. Very handy, and I think they look good on both coupes and convertibles.

On a C3 yes.

On a C2 coupe definitely No
Times out on the C2 convertible.
