Scottish All Rover Rally

Set in the Scottish Borders at Lauder, Thirlestane Castle has its origins in the 13th century. It was rebuilt as the Maitland family home in 1590 and greatly enhanced by the Duke of Lauderdale in the 1670s. In 1840, it was extended and refurbished with the addition of two new wings.

So where could you find a finer venue for the Scottish All Rover Rally.

Ann was soon in among the posh Range Rovers.

But I steered her towards the rugged old Land Rovers.

The Scottish Army were there too!

The obligatory kilt shot - I wore my Paisley tartan tank today.

Freelander Sporrano will like this one.

Wolseley 12 series 3 Police car, built in 1938, note the police bell above the left front bumper.
Wolseley was an independent car maker, later absorbed into the Rover group.

1936 Wolseley 14 de Luxe on the driveway from the castle.

If you like old cars, I have uploaded lots more pics from today to my website.

Those are great photos Alex, looks like a wonderful day for it.

Great shots and a wonderful setting for those delightful machines.

I'm most patial to the looks of the 1947 Rover 12 Tourer. All you need is a picnic basket in the back seat and a lovely lady to share it with and you're off.

Cheers

Excellent pics and it's good to see Ann out and about in the sunshine!

Nice pics.

I'm a past owner of a P5B and a 3500SE myself, as well as quite a few other Brit cars.

Correction, that was meant to be a P6B, would have loved a P5B coupe though.

I think the only Rover I actually ever owned was a Metro but I remember the family owning a Wolsey. Great shots of some classic and well maintined vehicles!
