Brooklands Museum
Morris and Austin Day
Valentine's Day, 14 February, 1999

Last year was great, and I fully expected a repeat performance of the fine warm weather we had, but I was sadly disappointed. It was a COLD, COLD day this year! The day dawned fine and sunny, but with only a chilly 5 or 6 degrees Celcius forecast. We had had a strong frost and the cars were well covered in ice. But the cloudless sky soon turned to grey and I even saw bits of snow and sleet coming down.

At Brooklands, the sleet held off but the occasional light shower of rain and a very biting breeze made the pleasure of seeing a couple of hundred Morrises and Austins together at the home of British motor racing a bit less pleasurable than it could have been. Nevertheless, everyone seened in good spirit and happy to wander around amongst all the great cars. There were only about 4 trade stands, including Minor Monthly magazine and a model trader.
