Humber Bridge Classics Night - UPDATED - 5th July 2019 - pictures


Recommended Posts

Posted

I went to the 'Humber Bridge classics night' on Friday night. It's an informal, once a month, gathering organised by the EYTCC (East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club) and it was the last one of the summer so it was a good attendance...

 

http://www.eytcc.org.uk/socialevents.html

 

I took the MK1 Panda, although I went to the event on the 8th July and took the 900T van. I did do a write up for that night and posted the pics, but it appears to have been lost in the great forum flood of 2016... :-(

 

There were loads of old motors there, but I have picked out those that will appeal to shiters...

 

My Panda...

That looked a good show, lots of variety. Pick of the bunch for me would probably have to be the black Zodiac.

Seeing as the thread I did about the 8th July gathering has gone, I'll post those pictures again...

 

So, Humber Bridge Classics night, 8th July...

What a selection! Zodiac or stacklight Benz coupe for me.

WTF are the wheels on the Horizon?

 

edit: a Pizza and a Pao! Nice.

Posted

Tons of lovely stuff! That black Zodiac was gorgeous. I did like the Toyota camper though. 

Posted

The yellow BT van was ace too :)

 

Thanks for the piccies :)

Posted

Fucking hideous!

 

 

Pick from the July meet has to be the Pontiac, or the purple velvet mk3 Cortina.

Posted

Agree, those Horizon wheels were terrible...

I went to this on friday night. It was the second one of the summer. I missed the first one, which was last month, but apparently the turn out wasn't great due to crap weather. So I trundled along on Friday in the 900T van. It's 5 til 9 and no entry fee or membership requirements and a come and go when you want...

 

I didn't get a lot of pictures as my camera batteries went...but... a few cars have been in previous updates...(I didn't even get a picture of the van surrounded by MGBs and Stags and the like...)

I loved this... IT'S 25 YEARS OLD!!!!...great colour too...

This was GRIM. It was some shit Seventies Ford custom that has somehow survived...the tax disc in it was from 1988 and said 'Ford'...That's the only way I knew what it was...

Nice.

 

That little 106 looks exactly like one I used to do work on. Same colour and age, it was a little old lady that drove it. I wonder if it's the same one as there cant have been many of that age and colour around even back then.

Posted

The 106 is a local car as it has a Hull registration number (RH), so hasn't ventured too far in the way of ownership during it's life.

Looks like a decent event. Annoyingly it's just that bit too far for me to cover on a school night. 

I love and hate 'Seventies customs like that Capri in equal measure. It's not my thing at all, but I'm delighted it's survived as so many didn't. We'll be getting nostalgic for those horrific Max Power abortions in 10 years time, mark me words. 

Not seen that Piazza HBL before. Will have to investigate.

Went again to this tonight. It was busy as it's the last one of the seaon and it's a nice evening.

 

I took the 126 this time. It was MOT'd last week after I spent the last month or so doing a gearbox swap.

 

The 126 next to a 205...

Looks like a good meet, plenty of variety. 

 

Your man there with the Scirocco seems to have put one zero too many on his sign though.

Posted

Looks good.  Wish I'd known about this before as it's an hour's drive for me.  Next year my Tipo may be up to scratch for it!

Posted

Good God, a Strada Cabrio in the wild! I've had 4 of them in the past. I've got a few bits left from the 2 I broke if your mate needs some stuff.

I went to this tonight. Big turnout as you'd expect with the weather we've been having. I also went to the previous two in which I went in my 900T van and then my Panda 750L. If the weather is good you can always expect a few hundred cars...

 

Tonight I took the Panda 4x4 Sisley. I met my mate and his Mrs, again in their Strada cabrio. (Everybody asks "Is it a Golf??"....No...)

There was a hell of a lot more that missed my camera.

 

These are great events. Recommend.

I will occasionally wander to the EYTCC in Cott, I get annoyed when people turn up in standard mk4 Golf Base models...

That's initially how I read the title... panic over, I R DISAPONT no Humbers were in evidence, on the Humber. There is a Humber museum in Hull I need to see.

 

Anyway, beezer, great photos from one of my favourite parts of the Kingdom.

Hey this is Autoshite, you can't admit things like that here :)

Some nice stuff there Vin.

 

Enjoying threads like this after I've had to miss various meets and shows this summer for various reasons.

I rarely do shows now - they never seem to be of this quality....Great stuff, looks like I am definitely last in the queue for that Zody, though!

I need to be on the gate telling people to piss off.
