andrew e Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Went here today, one of Essex's most secret shows (either that or its run soley for the twits from the MG moaners club) GR8 for dropping off mum's, nan's and daughters at the beach 50 foot away! All sorts of shite, a selection below. Lovely Snag Mr Bo11ox obviously made a secret outing Two lovely Italian Minis, strangely the brown colour scheme was very appealing... Whoa... Greased Lightning!!! Sit up and beg Pop was hiding this old skool ford tuning Aussie Valiant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I saw that red one, Was chatting to the owner for a bit, It was a bit tatty and he wanted £2000 for it.I was parked near the Autojumble and ice cream stills bit, I didn't get there until 12 as i was only planning to visit the show, I was parked just behind a load of Spitfires and next to a nice grey Jag Mk2.Yeah i got the two avengers plus the over blinged Carina, I'll posted the pictures up here once they have all finished downloading, could take a while though...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 GR8 SPOTS AE!!! That Carina is literally not believable, but i'll take the Avenger wagon please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 The avenger was recently up for £3995 if your pockets are deep enuf, Alf_Bo11ox. Agreed on the Carina, it's a total 'work of art'... at what point to these old giffers make a concious decision 'I know, I'll cover my car with shiny stick on things, regardless of how appropriate/inappropriate' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I really wanted to ask him that as he was watching me the whole time as i was taking photos, I just ended up giving him the friendy smile and nod, Bet that made his day!. What's the Honda Type R badges all about?, I'm also pretty sure it had a V8 badge on the other sside as well.! That Avenger was a stunner As was this one!

MrRegieRitmo Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 There was a similar sort of thing at Bromley, an old guy had ruined a MkI Consul/Granada with lots of addenda. He was getting ready to leave but when he spotted me pointing my camera at it, he happily asked if I wanted him to shut the doors for a better shot. I told him not to worry. 'yes that's right....give me a clearer shot of your....err.....piece of art!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
