A number of Turner Owners also attended without their cars , and we were especially delighted to welcome Lorn Stanners and his wife , who came by during their vacation in the UK . Lorn from Edmonton Alberta , Canada has owned his Mk II Turner Climax since 1971 and until the Rally had never seen another Turner.
As special guests both Lorn and his wife were treated to a ride in John Kenyon's early Turner 004 .
All were thrilled when Jack turned up to chat with the owners and look at the cars. Jack's attendance was in doubt as he is awaiting a hip replacement in the coming months.
All credit to Jack for making everyone's day complete, not only by attending, but also welcoming owners back to his home to talk, look at his Turner pictures , and have a look in his workshop where he still keeps busy making Scale Steam Engines from Scratch ! A truly talented Engineer .
