The
1998
Rally was held again at Loddon Court Farm,
Spencers Wood, near Reading, Berkshire on the
weekend of 25th/26th April 1998

Unfortunately the
weather was not as kind as it was last
year - intermittent sunshine and torrential
showers which meant that most people did not tempt
fate and park on the grass.
The poor weather
also meant that attendance was not as good as last
year.
To add to it all,
I had failed to properly load a film in my camera so
I took thirty six shots of interesting cars - a
Traction, a brace of DSs and some Amis, none of
which came out.

beautiful early French market GS - note the amber
reversing lights. This car belongs to a car designer
who works for Renault.

A panoramic view

is Andrew
Minney, Sub Editor of the Citroënian, the
magazine of the Citroën
Car Club and Guardian of the Club's Visa
Register.

not seen at the GS/A and Ami Rally, the weekend
following, I saw this sad looking DS 23 at
Hurstbourne Tarrant - perhaps it's being renovated
or maybe not...
