I think about 4 or 5 Oranges were built for Outpsan for advertising purposes.

You are right they were based on Mini mechanicals.

Certainly a few of them about.

There used to be one in Brixham when I was younger

It was indeed very wet, most of my photos were taken from inside my Car Boot and I still got wet!

My camera packed up with the wet towards the end but fortunately it has dried out OK at Home.

I was expecting a big Scammell entry but this was the only one that I saw.

Fodens were better represented though.

Who needs Scammell's when you've got all those nice Fodens !! , shame about the wet-thanks any way.

Special mention for the Royal College of Science folk who did the whole run on their open cab Dennis Fire Engine! For information Steamy's pix reflect conditions throughout the run as far as one can tell. Neil the Morris was a delight - pity all my pix of it were ruined by the rain on the lens. By that point every cloth in the bag was soaked and I simply had to give up.

There were a few entries which were certainly open to the elements! Our little Morris Bullnose traveller's van behaved herself from start to finish that said we both got rather soaked. The 2010 programme was ruined in about a minute of it being "safely" stored within the cab at Crystal Palace. A memorable trip!!
