It was a particularly sunny day, yesterday, when the Marcos Eurgio Meeting took place in The Netherlands, attracting a flock of Mini Marcoses and a handful of other Mini and Metro based cars. Due to the lovely weather and very scenic route plus start and finish location I was able to make plenty of nice photographs. For today some faces, later in the week I'll tell you more about the cars.
Peter Camping is one of my most dedicated readers, sending in snippets and unusual finds very regularly. This is his immaculate Midas Gold Convertible

Always there: Richard Porter took over his Mk2 Mini Jem this year. He's owned the car for 21 years now and had it just repaired and repainted. Note the extra air intakes on the bonnet

Splendid car, splendid couple: Joost van Dien and Anne Nobels. Joost owns another Mk3 and more interesting cars. He's working on a Gilbern Invader right now

Steady runners: Ed 'The Hat' Darwinkel and his trusty Midas Gold were there last year and will be there next year. You'll have to love him for admitting that, apart from Midases, he's a big Allegro fan!

Jouke Boersen with well-traveled Mini Marcos and girlfriend Daphne - I made a similar picture of them in Lithuania (click here) earlier this year. The start of a tradition?

I hadn't seen Raymond and his GTM Coupe for years, but was really glad to see the car now finally finished. It's beautifully engineered and fully turbo'd. More about it soon.

Keith Rose restored this GTM Rossa prior to coming over with his lovely wife. It's one of the cleanest I've seen. Keith owned several Marcoses and Kingfishers, too
