An afternoon visit to the Royal Gunpowder Works at Waltham Abbey was the order of today.  However, purpose of the outing was to witness the array of vintage and classic cars that had gathered there for the day.  The works is worth a visit in itself, but with the gathering of vehicles the visit was even more special.  Along with Mark, and the kids I ventured onto a personnel carrier and spent a good time investigating the beautiful cars.  There really were some iconic motors.

After the drive on the 'Pig' or personnel carrier we had a good look over the cars that had been so loveingly presented for the public to see.  My favourite had to be a gorgeous Bentley although there were some other special exhibits.  Although there were some more modern favourites such as Ferraris and Minis, I have to say that my personal favourites had to be the TVRs and Austins one of which was a similar model to that seen at Beaulieu just a few weeks before.  The AVA presentation shows some images from the day (lasting about 5 minutes):
