The Winchester day started by checking the wiring on the trembler coil ignition and quickly locating and curing the previous evening's problem: loose connections.  The journey thereafter proved trouble free and Julian and Navigator Bill Hiscocks, had a clear run on a cloudless, windless, seemingly late summer's day.
    The reception with the Mayor, Cllr Mrs Jean Hammerton, was followed by lunch and general celebrations and a re-enactment photo-shoot under the steadfast gaze of King Alfred. A large crowd turned out, including a number of elderly cars and several of Julian's friends and relations, which at times almost blocked the town's main thoroughfare.
    Cadillac #530 headed back to Crystal Palace, this time with a slipping clutch, apparently caused by the now-cured excessive oil supply during the first three days. In fact, the whole of the underside of the chassis and most of the engine compartment was covered with oil. Despite this, and despite running out of fuel on the long 'garage free' stretch of the A31, Julian, his navigator and #530 returned to the Queens Hotel, Crystal Palace, in good time - but by now, after nearly 70 hours driving and nearly the full 1,000 miles, the whole team were exhausted.
