Robin (UK) Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) We just held our 5th Annual P-15 Picnic in England and were delighted to welcome a record number of owners and cars for two days of Plymouth-filled fun. With Mark joining us from the USA, Tommi travelling from Finland, Martin from Sweden and cars gathering from all over the UK, it was a very special weekend. The weather wasn't great, but the atmosphere was superb, with cruise-outs to two local museums and a lovely dinner and dancing at the hotel. The line-up of cars was truly impressive, with a total of fifteen P15s or derivatives and several 'guest' classics. We'll be doing it all again in September 2020... you're all welcome to join us!

61farnham Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Great weekend, Great people, Thanks go to Robin and crew for organising the event. Looking forward to next year.

Coupe in the first photo been on the forum since 2013, car was imported by the previous owner in 2012. It was built in L.A. and been around the San Francisco area for most of it's live that i know about. I've had to completely replace brakes, fit new fuel tank and have a new prop shaft made in the time I've owned it. Jobs for this winter include new screen rubber, investigate a knocking in the engine and fit new rear shackle bushes. regards to all ........ Simon. 1 Quote
Robin (UK) Posted October 10, 2019 Author Report Posted October 10, 2019 Following Simon's lead, I'll chip in too. I own the red Convertible. I imported the car to the UK 15 years ago but have been on the Forum longer than that, as I previously owned a P15 Club Coupe. Since i got it, my car's undergone a bit of a 'high school hop up' and now runs dual carbs through an Edmunds intake, Fenton headers with twin exhausts, Fenton finned ali head, and an R10 overdrive transmission. The rear has been lowered 1.5 inches, it wears fender skirts with '41 Buick trims, blu-dot rear lenses, half-moon headlamp shields, Mopar electric gas cap and Hollywood flipper hubcaps. My convertible was supplied new on 3rd September 1947 by Gettysburg Motors in Pennsylvania and remained in Gettysburg until I bought it in 2004. Quote
9 foot box Posted October 11, 2019 Report Posted October 11, 2019 Thank You, Simon and Robin. It doesn't seem as expensive to get parts, between England and the USA, as it does to get parts between the USA and Canada. My wife and I dressed in period correct clothing, sometimes, when she owned her Black 1936 Terraplane suicide 4dr. The dinner pictures reminded me of that. So, I have a dinner date with my wife on her Birthday 11/26. If I can't drive my 49 P-15, depends on the weather, we'll be dressed to the nine, anyway. I'll start my own thread to show my car's to you and others, soon. Thank's again. 1 Quote
