The following were all spotted Sunday over about half an hour heading south on Ontario Hwy 12 south of Sunderland. They didn't seem to be in any sort of convoy or anything. All had their tops down.

3 MGBs (two red, one blue); 2 MGAs (both white); 1 MG TD; 1 Jaguar XJS; 1 Cobra replica; 1 Daimler SP250;

and...

1 Renault Floride! I think the last time I saw one of those was in the original "Day of the Jackal" movie. (This one was actually heading north.)

If any of these was one of you, say Hi.

Possibly heading or returning from 'Brits in the Park' that was held in Lindsay that day. I saw the Renault as well.

Nothing other to add except I didn't know there was a Sunderland on this continent. I went to Sunderland Poly (now Uni), but the original the other side of the pond.

I do have something to add.

Recently I've got a thing about XJS's. My parents had a 3.6 Manual cabrio (real cabrio, not the later convertable). I really want one now.

Adrian, apparently there are also Sunderlands in Massachusetts, Vermont, Maryland, and – skipping a bit in the middle – part of Portland, Oregon. You could collect souvenir T-shirts and wear them to a reunion.

Rusty, thanks for the Lindsay explanation! Just in case there were two Florides, this was a sort of metallic lime-gold colour, right?

Thanks! Now that you have shown me the pictures, I remember seeing a Mini with very wide wheels running south too.

Two vipers went by my house; they sound silly. Otherwise 1000 Harleys out yesterday or so it seemed.
