Took a run down today avoiding the Lakes as it was full of thousands of cyclists doing some race. Nice selection of motors and not dominated by MGs and Triumphs like most of the other classic car shows round here usually are. One of 2 Fiat X1/9s Opel Ascona 400. Nova Irmscher sport Mk1 Nova S1.3 SR Mk1 capri Huge stacklight mercerdes Fire up the Quattro.
Jag on slotmags was cool. Had this monster under the bonnet on a brace of webbers. Fast and Furious replica? Rear engined Skoda. Mk1 polo. Mk1 Fiesta XR2 Ex german fire bus. With the odd front bumper mounts. Beetle with possibly the worst fitting bonnet i've ever seen.
Can't remember the last time i saw some of these cars on the roads. M5? BMW was tidy. Gold Imp. Mk1 'tina. Selection of MG Maestro turbos. Pretty fast in their day. The Bug club. 50's chevy pickup with the sisters Pat and Tina. Bloody huge Ford F250 superduty. The bonnet sat at my shoulder height. Sweet Alfa. Renault 9 turbo. Haven't seen one of these since the early 90's. Mk3 Escort RS1600i. Don't think i've ever seen one before. All i've seen are XR3 and XR3i mk3s.
MG Maestro who would have thought it ,back in the day... see the faded one ,cost me a fortune in T cut..
Steeds jag just sold at auction for £62k. It was stock engined and an auto for the filming with the rorty engine noises added later. Its new owner is having it restored and fitting uprated engine, gearbox and suspension. Theres nearly £80k for its resto budget. http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20150827-new-avengers-jaguar-xj12-is-a-natty-barn-find
There were quite a few tidy Fords i'd have like to bring home. They all go for silly money though, especially the Escorts. Granny coupe was nice. Wheels look good on a bay too. Rs2000. Not sure if it was genuine though. Mk4 cortina Samba. Nice Mk1 Turbo cossie Mk1 Harris engined mk2 I know where theres a MK2 gte sat in a farm yard. Owner wants £3k for it though. Another Mk1 capri
Great pics, I am loving the Old Skool Fords BTW that's not a mk1 XR2 as they had round Headlamps, it could be a 1300 supersport but I would expect some graphics down the side . those RS1600i are rare and many people mistake them for XR3is. Sorry I grew up on Fords in the 80's and 90's and class myself as a bit of a ford nerd.
You're right, it was a fiesta supersport. It had the twin grey stripes down the side (thats not a reflection of someone's wind break in my piccy). It was still fitted with its original 1300 Kent but it was running twin 40's.
I might have to go to this 1 next year.............its not to far away. a lot of the cars went to a local show to me at the bank holiday weekend. @Zebedee they parked me next to the green jag, it was so clean it was unbelievable. mine got more dirt on it traveling 2.5 miles to the show.
That jag was rather nice. Theres a rotten one sat in a farmers field near me. Kids have been on it so roof is trashed but he still won't sell.
