Event Derby Charity Classic Car and Retro show 08 Jul 2018

[clayts450]

Finding myself at a loose end after my mum forbade me to drive to Newmarket because too hot, I shot over to Markeaton Park in Derby for an hour to gawp at some vehicles.

 

Usual selection of old choddage but these were the ones which stood out for me.

 

Lovely looking XR3i cab

 

 

Was also for sale, 12 month ticket. Probably OMGFORDSCENETAX price but  no one around

 

 

Don't panic VOXL lickers...bit of a barried Viva

 

 

Usual array of Minis but this 1275GT caught my eye

 

 

As did this honey

Hooooge- note the private plate

 

 

 

Vxl Vic

 

 

Beetle bus with 'No I'm not going to paint it' sign - but he had. Ratlook innit

 

 

Tiny Figaro/windowbox combi

A Micra-shaped blackboard

 

 

Couldn't resist. Kids around hence asterisk

 

 

Unsullied GTi

 

 

Probably in the brochure as 'old gold' Brown, innit

 

 

Alfa 33 and 155

 

 

Loads of Cruisers as well (the presence is strong in E Mids it seems) but I sneaked around - thought I snapped a photee but clearly not.

 

Nice vibe to the show, apart from the wanker in the barried Cosworth booming out loud tunes - you could feel the bass from the other side of the park.

 

Too hot to hang around for long but it got me out of the house for a couple of hours, and gave the Cruiser a nice fast blat.
