Since my last post here was all about how a small, driving based meet is more fun than a static show I am now going to feel quite contradictory by raving about a, err, static show.
Once a year, on a mid week evening, it seems all the old car and bike people on the planet – and some from further a field – converge on the Hertfordshire town of Harpenden for “Classics on the Common.” Numbers in the past have exceeded a coupe of thousand though this year the damp weather resulted in a lower turnout. However the mix was as eclectic as always with some real treasures in amongst the usual classic car fare, helped by the forward thinking 20-years-and-older criterea for cars on display.
Car of the night for me was thanks to a brief sighting of an incredibly beautiful Alfa Romeo 6C Touring. I saw it drive by but could not find where it parked – it’s that kind of night.
The common started emptying earlier too but since all the vehicles are shepherded in one direction a crowd lines the street to see them drive by adding a not so static element to the evening’s fun.
There are lots more images in the RSM flickr gallery here:
