A few more pictures from Knavesmire...

And an embarrassing picture from later on, I don't think the facebook police will see it on here though.. 43 year old Ducellier ignition module transistor going pop is an easy fix if you have a new one (or even better a new old stock Lucas one), but if is the biggest word in the English language!

Looking at events late in the year and never really wanting to put too many miles on 'Morris Montego', I've just done a Google, 'car shows north west'

Interesting - for members only (circa 320), the Lakeland Historic Car Club do a meet up October, November and December near Ulverston, south Cumbria

Knavesmire looks a good turnout!

Poor LVL 618 Y though.....

Yes, it was a good turnout & surprisingly good weather, Norman's car had a failed ignition amp, so an easy fix once he got home. Luckily its transistor popped just as we were leaving the meeting point on the A64, so I towed him to the show which amused the marshalls!

There is a meet at the Lake district motor museum on boxing day, we have been to that sometimes, usually a good day out & museum has some good stuff in it.

- Sounds good!!!


Do you think it may be worth joining the Lakeland Historic Car Club though - £27 per annum plus £5 initial joining fee ??

[Morris Montego]

......it seems the Lakeland Historic Car Club, with a Kendal address, actually meets at the Lakeland Motor Museum (and Cafe) in Backbarrow, Ulverston

[Doctordiesel77]

Iirc the Boxing day meet is free entry for anyone with a classic car & you get a reduced entry to the museum, I guess the Lakeland historic car club must have other events, unless things have changed. Just looked on the museum page & boxing day meet isn't listed yet, if it does get listed I'll add it to our show list. https://www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk/about/events

I have always fancied that but my cars go off the road for winter. But saying that my Subaru is 20 years old now so I might just get away with it I will have a look up if anyone confirms they are going closer to the date. I do like the Lakeland motor museum, it's one of the better ones.

I went on carevents.com, shows in the north west - It says the Lakeland Historic Car Club meets third Saturday of every month, Backbarrow, Ulverston, at the museum & Cafe Ambio. So, 17th October, 21st November, 19th December.

I did wonder, is the club joining fee worth it for a later October, November and/or pre-Christmas meet up?

Probably not, the museum does a free meet on the first saturday of every month which is open to all...

Ahaa......I should have researched more

Does anyone fancy a meet 3rd October, 7th November or 5th December then at the museum?

Blimey I'm working round that way for two days and visiting there tomorrow afternoon on my way to Eskdale from Grosmont where I'm staying for a night, next night I'm in Ulverston and visiting the Lauren & Hardy Museum.
Then going down to Wigan/Bolton to do a couple of jobs there on Saturday before going home.
But I will be in my MGZT260 so not a Montego/Maestro
