Ride out today to Reydon near Southwold, Suffolk to the first Motorfest event at the Reydon Community Centre, for a first event it wasn’t bad, had a total of 10 engines turn up, 5 of these were driving a water pump of some kind so not a bad turn out, cars were various, from a GT40 to a humble Marina, safe to say I didn’t bother with the Marina!
Brian Ringwood put on a good display with his WD11 and Girdelstone pump
Also his Petter A1 and Godwin A1 pump doing the washing up
And lastly his Petter AS
Paul Mace was there with his lovely Ingeco, this is a superb engine and really is something special.
Mike Gooch had a Lister D set, this was a pig to start with but a little spanner work soon sorted that out…..
Paul Goldsmith had his big Lister there, ran well for a Lister I must say
Callum Tracey kept the Petter theme going with his W1 and Peartop, the Peartop running well driving a Ruston Hornsby 1.5 inch water pump.
Me? I took my 2hp New Model Appletop and Brooks pump, this was a last second option and I was faffing around Friday night sorting some pipe work but I’m pleased at how it worked so now to do something a bit better on the eye with it, ready for Welland later in the year.
And lastly Steve Coe with his Ruston Hornsby PB and Ruston pump.
Some nice bikes too including a lovely Suzuki GT 550 tripple😍
