For those of you who are interested, or just curious, here are picures of some of the other exhibits that were on display. All the exhibits are the result of much hard work and care.

| A very fine looking Opel truck. |

 |
One for MG enthusiasts, although anyone who likes sports cars would like this one. Even though it was a commercial vehicle exhibition, there were a number of private cars on show. |
| There were three MG's on display. |

The old motorcycles and mopeds move off in a cloud of 2-stroke smoke. |
| Three more trucks. Nearest the camera is an International, then a Volvo, and furthest away is a GMC. The red painted brick buildings you can see to the right are two old sardine canning factories. When they were built, they were right on the water's edge, and fish would be hoisted up into the buildings direct from the boats. They quayside was built out in the early part of the 20th. century. In the 1970's the buildings were taken over by the Mobil Oil company. But after the 1999 merger with Esso the offices were moved to Esso's own building in Stavanger. The buildings were finally vacated in September 2000. Quite sad, as I worked there from 1992 till 1997. |

From the days of sail, the Anne Margrethe. Ships like this carried cargo along the Norwegian coast during the latter half of the 19th. century and the early part of the 20th. |
| Jaguars were well represented.... |
 |
 |
....as were Mercedes-Benz. |
| Four magnificent fire appliances. Nearest the camera with solid tyres is a Gaggenau, then a Mercedes-Benz, followed by a Chevrolet (I believe), and then another Mercedes-Benz. |

There was a fine collection of marine engines on display. They were all single cylinder semi-diesels from the early part of the 20th. century. Some of the engines were running, hence the water hoses lying around for cooling purposes. At tick-over speed they don't tick any faster than your average grandfather clock. |
| Tractors were well represented, not surprising as Stavanger lies near one of Norway's most important agricultural areas. This one is a 1922 model Fordson. |
 |
 |
And finally, another tractor, this time a light-weight McCormick Farmall Cub. |
