Berry - Ford Prefect

Berry Rally May 2011

Berry Rally May 2011

I was invited down to Berry by the Shoalhaven historical car group to display my Humber Sceptre at a rally at Berry Showground. The car went well and it was a pleasant drive to Berry. They had a great variety of vehicles from vintage trucks to classic bike, with some fairly unique vehicles. I spotted an immaculate early Ford Prefect, which was the first car that I owned. I also saw a 1960's British campervan, similar to the one we had in England - can't believe it was so small - there is no way we could live in it now!

We were invited to a small rally around Berry with a friend of ours who owns a Rover Coupe. We set off from the Anglican Church and slowly headed south. There were 2 Rovers, 2 Minis and a lovely black MGTF and my Humber Sceptre. I have just attached some car badges and old stickers and they look great. We headed to Don's farm at the back of Jasper's Brush through narrow roads set amongst emerald green valleys. The car went very well and cruised easily along the highway. I am thinking of getting sheepskin covers for the seats coming up to winter.

My Humber Sceptre at the Kiama Jazz Festival

Kiama Jazz Festival

We took my Humber Sceptre to Kiama Jazz Festival for the weekend. For the first time all the music at the festival was free, so there were a lot more people around than normal. We had no problem driving there and I was able to park in a close and safe spot. It is always a worry when you have a classic car, wondering if someone will try and nick it, especially a unique one like ours.
However all we had was people coming up to have a look and see what type of car was it! We had a great time at the festival and heard some great jazz, especially from Adrian Cunnignham, who had some great support from his band. Got home late after finishing off with The Stingers - agreat blues band.
