No LOCI pitch at Tatton Park last weekend but a sweltering Saturday saw four Landcrabs and a couple of club members on the award-winning Wolseley Owners Club stand, a solitary Maxi among the huge variety of local club stands, and one 'Crab in the car park! On the Sunday 3 Landcrabs made the event, also on the WOC stand. Thanks must go to WOC for the refreshments and excellent hospitality.

LOCI NATIONAL RALLY 2015 - THORESBY PARK, OLLERTON, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE There was a huge turnout for the LOCI National Rally - so many in fact that it was more like sardines than Landcrabs! With a bit of re-organisation, a grand total of 27 cars were eventually packed on to the club pitch, with pretty much every variant made on display. It was certainly the biggest number of Morris-badged cars (7) at any event for many years. Well done everybody for putting on such a great show. Numerous other car clubs were displaying all around the show field too, making for an interesting and varied event, and having decent weather all day was a bonus! Many thanks to the Wolseley Owners Club who were on the stand next door and, once again, kept LOCI members fed and watered throughout the day.

TRIPLE AWARD FOR LANDCRABBERS AT TATTONMany thanks to everyone who went the extra mile (and in a few cases several hundreds of miles) to exhibit their Landcrabs at Tatton Park over the weekend – come sunshine, wind and rain! There were 11 cars on Saturday and 9 on Sunday with pretty much every model represented over the weekend, from an early Austin 1800 Mk1 through to a pair of rare Morris 2200s. Your efforts in putting on a great display for the public saw the LOCI stand awarded third place in the Highly Commended category – pretty impressive for our first time out at this event. It's not only the LOCI stand that won an award. Congratulations to Club Member Claire Serrell on winning the Show organisers' "Future Generation" trophy for classic enthusiast aged under 25, as well as the accolade for "Best Landcrab" NOW 85. Thanks also to the Wolseley Owners Club who were on the stand opposite and kept us all well fed and watered throughout the day!

Don't know how accurate this is but... Some versions badged Freeway (a name previously used for a six-cylinder Farina model down under) were exported to New Zealand, which also assembled UK-made Austin and Morris 1800s in separate plants. It's from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMC_ADO17
