trigger Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Scroll down a bit for the show pictures Right, Just downloading some photos i took today at a show and i will update this thread with the photos but for now can anyone name this car?. I haven't a clue, There wasn't any badges on it at all and all i can find on it on a ebay listings seach is that it's a 1951 model registered in 1980 with a 1600cc engine?. Someone on flickr has commented that "It looks like the front of a 1950 Studebaker with a Tucker Torpedo center headlight and the body of an A-H 3000!"

shite_meister Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I would say its a special or a bitsa-quite common at one point for people to hack together a special using bread & butter mechanicals, that grill is rank. Body looks like a Jag XK120 thats shrunk in the wash.*Edit-just typed this before the others piped up with the Hillman stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_E23 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 According to the RAC vehicle check it's a Hillman. There was no model name in the results, so I guess 'awful homebuilt special' isn't on the DVLA's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Another week, Another show! This week I've been to Helmingham Hall Festival of Classics and Sports Cars in Suffolk, Really good show, Has a nice straight in front of the house which was used a strip for owners to thrash there cars up, Great fun watching some of the old boys that have never booted there cars before crunch through the gears. As always the rest of the photos are HERE (Only 187 to go through!) Mega mint Maestro Turbo with only 14000 miles on the clock The most pimped Skoda I've ever seen!, and yes it was owned by a older chap! Very tatty 240Z, the whole car was rotten with big holes in most the panels, I'd still roll it though Anyone for Crêpes? Pucker Quattro Sport which went like a rocket down the main drive but what's with the pearlescent paint job and aftermarket wheels? Super fast shite! This Alpine has just come out of a collection in Singapore, Still only had 450 miles on the clock!. 1953 Austin A40 Sports, never heard of one before. Original Ex cop Jag was simply awesome, Really loved this. Imagine sitting here back in the 60's chasing the scum, lush. Anyone what a new fish pond?!, The bloke save this from the scrapyard, cut the roof off and turned it into a fish pond, It was even full of water and goldfish!.It was for sale for £850 as he wanted a Mini to do next! You can poke your VW Campers, This for me please! Not real touring car shocker, Some blokes homemade replica with a 2.0 Turbo, used every day for traveling to work in the flyer said. Still up for sale £1495 Shite Bristol, It was massive as well! Not seen one of these for years! Facel Vega HK500, Reminds me of a Citroen C6 a little bit, Stunning bit of french kit though. SAAB V4 Estate with BOAC sticker in rear window. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2449/3782728528_7541646775_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2447/3781913893_177980da45_b.jpg Found this in the car park, God know what all the badges and stickers are about??!

reallyloud Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have a thing for those Vacel Fegas. The other 2 door sports GT I'd happily over polish would be a Gordon Keeble. Looks like a half decent event - I've wondered over to quite a few shows over the years only to be disappointed by an insipid selection. Curiously though, the cars have been getting more interesting and better restored - I wonder what will happen to all those Plastic Padding finished Singers and E93A's when their owners finally die?
