1985 Crank-Up [2] - a photo on Flickriver

1985 Crank-Up [2]

            Every year in the late 1980s I organised the vintage section at a local village show on the first Saturday in August. On that day all my friends who I had invited to exhibit would meet at the show and afterwards all come back to our house at Southerndown for a barbecue and then camp overnight in readiness for a small vintage show, or Crank-Up as we called it, which we held in the grounds of our house. The photographs are from the first of these annual events at Little West and show a very cool, windy and at times damp day.

In this picture we see four Lister stationary engines, three of which are mine. There are two extremely rare Listers side by side here, the so-called "Canadian" spherical hopper variety, originally intended for export to the Canadian market but a few escaped and my friend and I were lucky enough to have one each; mine is the unrestored one, but which ran exceptionally well.
