Some of my cine film, (hence no sound), taken at the Pod has just been put on youtube.
I believe it was a Gary's Picnic event in 1986.
Anyone able to pin down the year from the cars there.

Thanks for posting it up Chris,we were there in Julies revamped dark green Thames 300E van,there was a quick flash of it at 4:39 in,i am fairly sure it was Gary's Picnic but at the moment i cant say if it was 1986 or 1985 i don't think we took it there in 1987,but we can anyone else add to that ?
If the 1985 Garys picnic took place before July 3rd 1985 our van could not have been there making it most likely 1986.

Thanks Nick ,and I still to this day can’t work out how we ended up with three cars painted green for so long
Yep was gary picnic Chris , good post buddy ta I was in a custom pop was a real fun weekend....
That was Nick Butler's Vitamin T Doctor's coupe that ended up in a front garden up north & got rescued by Barry George. He ran it for a year or so & I seriously considered buying it when I saw it at Billing one year, even took it for a test drive round Billing for an hour but decided against it as A) at the time it had a Pinto 4 pot in it B) the steering column poly bush below the firewall was too close to the header & was binding, making it hard to steer & C) he wanted too much for it. He came over to my house to see about a part ex deal with a car I had, forget which but I think it was either the Consul or the Chevy Sedan, but we couldn't agree on a deal. It hen ended up with Mick "Mr Flake" Tebbs who rebuilt it & then it passed through a couple more hands, being painted bright orange in the process. Here it is at Billing when I was looking over it. As you know I now have my own one, which was almost identical to how this one was when first built by Nick!

Nice one Mr Tee.At this time Pete Malmsjo had bought it for his dad which is why he swapped out the V8 for the pinto.The pinto lumps were starting to be a "thing."Sadly his dad has since died.
Great film Chris, the best of times at Santa Pod, always seemed to be something RWYB-ish going on. Hot rods, street rods, customs, tri-Chevys, muscle cars, loads of familiar cars on there.
