There were more cars, but...

We've had difficulty finding as many photos as we'd like. Registered participants whose cars appear in the background of photos above: Dan Blackwood (red TR7), Matthew Blackwood (silver XJ6), Max Fulton (burgandy MGB), Rick and Prema Ray (yellow TR8, WV plates), and Bill Yobi (left his red MGB/Olds at home and drove his Hellcat instead.).
