JBA Owners Club Scottish
Show at Dalmeny House, South Queensferry.
This was a sort of
continuation of the Scottish week for three couples. John and
Morag Donaldson, Dave and Joan Tennant, Bunny and myself left
Dumfries and headed for Dalmeny about a two and a half hour drive
pulling the caravans. When we arrived at Beattock the rain
started, by the time we reached Edinburgh it was torrential. Bunny
and I decided to go home as we live a short distance from Dalmeny.
David and Joan tried the camp site
and phoned to say it was awash, they also went home. John and
Morag found another campsite and stayed there overnight, as they
live in the West of Scotland.

Sunday dawned and it was dry.
Amazing our luck, last evening we all thought the show would
be a disaster, due to the weather conditions. The sun started
to shine.
We had nine Falcons on the
stand. |
Bob Bagnall from Dalgety Bay had
to abandon his visit. His JBA Falcon Roadster developed a
serious fuel leak as he started off.
|
The show which is held at
Dalmeny House was quite well attended. A large display of
Classic cars. Not as many as usual, I guess the recent
weather put many people off.
Many people took the guided
tour of the house itself.

The site faces onto the river Forth near to
the Forth Bridge.
Last years show had to be cancelled due to
the foot and mouth epidemic.
|
|
The Scottish Kit Car Club
had a large stand. |

Nice to see Alex Sargent's
JBA Javelin on the Capri Club Scotland Stand. It first
appeared here in the year 2000. Since
then it has been fitted with a Rover V8 engine running on
LPG. The Javelin is looking even more attractive with it's
new alloy wheels.
|
|
I only spotted one Beauford at the show. A
beautful car used for weddings.
Perhaps David Young of Beauford Cars might
consider taking a trip up to Scotland with one of his cars.
After all they did go to Ireland with JBA.

|
|
The Imp Club put on a nice show.
|
|
Reg Hartley still continues with his JBAOC
membership since he sold his Plus 2 a couple of years ago. Reg is
75 years old and had to give up driving, due to his eye site
deteriorating.
I travelled up to Perth to bring him to the
show. He really enjoyed his day. He was full of praise about
Malcolm Jones, who had bought his Falcon.
As it was looking superb.

|
|
A nice display of vintage and
veteran cars.
|
|
John and Morag Donaldson's
Falcon TSR.
|
|
|
 |
A lovely MG TD of the
1950's.
|
|
Indeed we were very lucky
with the weather. There was a large array of stalls, which
many members visited and were quite pleased with the
prices being asked. |
 |
This
is turning into the largest show in Scotland and I am
looking forward to next year.
