I stood at the entrance to the track and took a video of each and every one of the 42 cars that went out onto the parade lap. It can be viewed here:

The stand out cars for me were Neil Widdowson's Colorado over White Sprint, which he converted from a FHC himself, though he kept all the parts so that it can be reverted back to original at any time. JimEs gorgeous and original Roman Purple Plus 2S130/5, to which we awarded the Shiniest and One We Want to Take Home prizes. Elseezed running restoration early car, which despite the gel coat patches and bastard interior (well, what there was of it!) had a great deal of charm and potential! The two Hexagon DHCs, one being Peter's (HexagonDHC on here) and even more excitingly, the original Hexagon car that featured in their catalogue, owned by the delightful Frank and June, since 1974, thus winning them the longest owned car prize.
You may also have seen the +2 with what looked like an AC Ace front nose. I chatted to the owner and he carried out the work himself, to what appeared to be a very high standard, three years ago. He felt he wanted to put his interpretation onto what he thought the car could look like, accepting it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he was happy.
It was a cracking day and one of the more remarkable Castle Combe events.
