CLASSIC cars & aircraft - a perfect day??

March's "Cars and Caffeine at Combermere" meet in Cheshire was joined by fantastic weather, so we headed out in the Renault 4CV (or 750 to be accurate) and the MX5, confident that there'd be a good showing of classic cars and later sportscars this month.
Disappointment was not to be, as a great variety of cars old and new(ish) made the trip over, and the car park was soon packed with enthusiast-owned cars, including quite a few oldies that we hadn't seen before. Highlights included a great pair of early vintage Sunbeams and a very unusual Ford-badged pickup of the early 1970s. A mighty Mustang that starred at this meet a little while ago also turned up, as did various Triumphs including TRs, a pair of Dolomite Sprints, and a 13/60 Herald that we'd not seen before.
Rear-engined cars were numerous this time, including our Renault, a pair of Imps (well, an Imp and a Singer Chamois), various Porsches, and a couple of air-cooled VWs.
The meeting last 'til late morning, at which point we headed back, almost the last to leave as usual. The weather was still fab so once lunch was out of the way, I pointed the MX5's nose in the direction of Shropshire and visited Sleap airfield to see what old aircraft were being exercised. Again, no disappointments on that score.
All in all, a perfect day in the great outdoors.
