Great turnout of Z's and looks a super socialiable weekend to be had. Hopefully I can join you fine chaps next year. Great images Mark!!
Sadly not all good news for everybody at this great show. Not Datsun related so I apologise in advance but someone's pride and joy of a classic was stolen on Saturday. Be careful with your cars at shows.

That's horrifying that someone just waltzed off with it - but why would the owner leave it unattended? From 10:50am to 6:50pm is a long time.

I think, the car had been left in a public car park and not on the infield with any of the car clubs.
If this was a chap just attending for the day and parking with the general public then it would be quite normal for him to park up and then go and spend a day wandering round the site, watching racing etc for most of the day, last race didn't finish till about half six I think.
Still a real nightmare coming back and finding your car missing, classic or otherwise.

I have heard of this happening before at Donington (or may have been Silverstone) with expensive Ducati bikes loaded in a Transit van and stolen but not with cars.
Bare faced cheek, hard to believe no-one saw anything and wonder where the marshals were ?
Thieving scumbags obviously knew what they were looking for as that E Type is worth £ 100k+

If you saw someone loading the car onto a breakdown truck would you ask them what they were doing and if they owned it? Taken pictures etc etc. Worth thinking about.
We had a 240Z stolen from Billing Aquadrome one year, next to a tent!
I think if I park outside a circuit in future I'll at least put my wheel-clamp on the Z.
Great to see that many Z's together and a nice variation of modification's and colours
Excellent pics by the way
Love the photos Woody, nice one
Maybe next year we need to take our convoy around the town and add an extra dozen Z's to the train
Looking forward to next year already
Glad people are enjoying the pics, makes all the effort worth it
I'll try and get some more next time. It would be great if some of you could share your own photos of your adventures with your Z and submit them for the calendar entries this year. Scary to think we're already several months through the year and there's lots of months still to fill! Lets get out there driving
Shocking to hear about that E-type! That could easily have been me or my dad leaving our classic in the public car park for the day like we've done so many times before...
