CKT829 is PB0682 which has been in the long term ownership of Andrew Smith.
How nice to see this very well known car/driver combination out competing again; they won the Car of the Year trophy on several occasions in the past. The car was extensively raced and was always fast and reliable.

Here's a few more. The photos in the car park were at the start which was at the Lanes Hotel, West Cocker (near Yeovil). The previous photo of the section was Special Test 3 (Short Cross) just off the A37 near Cerne Abbas. The photo taken outside the pub was the lunch halt at South Cadbury (as was the second photo on this series).
I offer no excuses for the picture of "Britannia" in steam on the Swanage Railway (taken this morning). What a weekend - the smell of Castrol R and steam! Does it get any better???
Here is the complete entry list. A great week-end amongst very good friends. Very nice to see John Bevington's old M Type, now in the dainty hands of Kim Jenkins. What a change from John's knarled old mitts. This car has an engine which lived in many bits for at least 20 years in the corner of my Dad's garden shed.
Also apologies to the good people of Somerset for the incredible noise made when Honeycliffe removed the entire exhaust system from my PA and my many thanks to Foz for making an excellent repair to the broken exhaust manifold.
Sorry chaps. I cannot seem to add the first page of the Entry List (Image 20150427_0001/jpg.) I give up and leave it to someone with greater technical ability.
The Trials Cars Reunion was advertised to coincide with the Kimber. Are there any photos of the original cars, or did it not happen ? The 1995 reunion was a wonderful occasion. Graham

I know that it is now a long time ago (last Saturday) but I think that I have now been able to scan the first page of the entry list for the Kimber Trial,
