Amberley's Autumn Vintage Vehicle Show
14th October 2007

On the 14th October, the annual Autumn Vintage Vehicle Show was held.

This show is open to all vintage vehicles from those powered by steam to cars, lorries and buses.

I was tending and steering Marshall Roller 'Joan' for the day, hence why there are more pics of her.
