Event Milton Keynes Museum Transport Day

[quicksilver]

So as you probably know by now, a few shiters turned up at this show yesterday. Plenty of variety, including an interesting selection of kei cars (8 Cappuccinos and 4 Beats among them!). Let's have some pics.

 

What sort of person would bring a Daewoo Matiz to a classic car show?

MOAR

 

The label said there was a mirror at the back to view the underside. Why would I want to do that?

It was a nice gathering, with some interesting stuff there.

 

Was nice to meet Mr Hubnut and see the Matiz, which looked great. It turns out I wandered haphazardly into shot at the end of his live broadcast, oops.

 

Hopefully people were distracted by the glorious Kei cars in the background.

 

I took some shots, mostly of the same stuff...these are unedited.

 

 

The Isetta next to the Cadillac is perhaps my favourite juxtaposition, with the Mitsuoka next to an actual Mk2 part being the other.

Lovely pics folks. Was a nice little show really. Some surprising variety, as well as the usual scowling wives in deckchairs.

Wow that looks like my kind of show. Lots of interesting old tut there. I love that Viva especially...brought to you by Hot Car mag circa 1970. Can't remember when I last saw black and white checker tape on a car. It was the in thing when I were a nipper and I stuck it all over my pushbike to make it go faster (along with the horn, flags and tiger tail).
