60 years of BSA FWD at the Patrick museum in July 1989

This was the first "Milestone" event to be staged by our club, and celebrated 60 years of the car, and 30 years of the club's existence, and was a 100% success, as the following pictures show. It represented the largest gathering ever seen of BSA FWD vehicles and was indeed, a true "Milestone" in the history of car and club.
