I didn't see any final list, but as far as TABC types go, there were 14 TCs on display, no TBs and 3 TAs - 2 Tickfords and Terry Sanders' roadster. There was another TA Tickford registered, but it didn't make it due to family health problems. In addition, there were a couple of TCs in the race car category - and a TC with a Ford V8 60 appeared briefly in the swap meet area. And there were a bunch of us TC owners there without our cars. At least Dean drove his TD. So at least he drove an MG. As for me, does driving a GMC pickup count? Regards, Charles Hill

Charles & all, If you look at the last 14 pages of the program it lists all the attendees (at least to an unknown printer deadline) alphabeticaly along with their car types. Bill Hentzen was there with his 39 TB Tickford while Phil Laiacona had his recently finished 37 TA Tickford there too. Both beautiful cars. I can't remember seeing both TA & TB Tickfords together in one spot before. There were some really nice MMM cars there too. I just wish that one of them was mine. Oh well, I've just got to keep working on both the TC and J2 and someday they will be done. John Libbert J2 3118 TC 2138 MGA 70528 Milford, OH

I should have remembered that Bill's Tickford was a TB. I've seen it at enough shows. I only wish my car was 1/2 as nice. Of course, I only have an ordinary TC. Anyway, as you say, seeing 2 such beautiful cars together was great. If Sandy Krug had been able to bring his car, there would have been 3 great Tickfords together. That is the point I was trying to make. Regards, Charles Hill
