Welsh festival of Land Rovers 2022

 After a lot if disappointment in 2020 and in 2021 as well it was absolutely fantastic to meet up with good friends again at the Welsh Festival of Land Rovers at the Royal Welsh showground at Llanewedd / Builth Wells 

As usual we were on display on the SWLRC stand with a very fetching mini Land Rover painted in a very close colour (OK it was camel trophy colour not NATO colours)

For once we were not the only 127 on show because there was this excellent camper conversion (nearly finished) which Ian & Elke had done using a more modern chassis and engine and a Marshalls 127 body that he purchased to go on it. The quality of work was impressive!


As usual the highlight for us on both days was the parade which was led by Huw Williams in his toylander watched on by his mom and dad (and Gary) 

Given this was Queen Elizabeth IIs Platinum jubilee we decided to have a patriotic theme and we had our very own "queen of fundraising" Paulene chauffeured around by our friends from the Family Land Rover Club


But the highlight of the show had to be "Fluffy" the 101/110 and other bits hybrid who turned up on the Saturday night after a family close disaster on the way here on the Friday. Well done Zeb! 




The weather was good, the vehicles superb, the atmosphere was excellent and another fantastic weekend was had by all
