Harewood house fatha's day show

[reallyloud]

New thread for some of my latest pics, as my isp is ghey. I hope this works.

 

First lot are the j-tin selection (as seen on rr, ojc and doc) so apologies for this multi-forum madness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats out of the way, now for the rest - very little in terms of shite to be honest but I like to think my carina (blue 4 door saloon in the selection above) made up for that.

 

Some Italian choice cuts from the show:

 

 

 

 

 

Followed by a swift scattering of precision engineering:

 

 

 

Stuff of mixed ancestory:

 

 

 

 

As many as 500 of these were registered in 2001. According to the owner - can this be right? Seems like a wildly optimistic number considering how few are seen.

 

 

Lovely subtle colour, slightly over exposed shot unfortunately.

And finally some of the more interesting UK stuff (to me anyway)

This was like Father Cherrys only British car - I think I would have been transported back from Shrub Hill maternity unit to the house in something like this. I love the Marina colour palettes of these late 1100/1300's.

The Maestro was not one of the newest cars there - there was a whole crock of bloody PT cruisers, as well as 5 year old BMW 5 series and fresh from the dealer MX5's. Asides from that was a grand day out. Apart from a distinctive lack of French cars.

As featured on this month's Retro Cars Magazine...

That is awesome! I'd love to see the interior.

My wife's dream car....I showed her this pic, and she physically appeared to weaken at the knees....She'd prefer the hubcaps that "look like footballs" to those alloys though!

 

Datsun PCF 182M....Have I seen that in a couple of TV ads recently?

[HillmanImp]

That Imp makes me moist. If only i had the money (and the ability) to make something like that. The Retro rides seems to be having a bot of a Rootes/Chrysler extravaganza by the looks of the cover. Not complaining like.

That Ledbury Maestro is the shizzles. It makes me want to be incredibly violent towards the arse who promised to mend my Maestro van then left it untouched for bleeding years and it ended up getting scrapped.

Datsun PCF 182M....Have I seen that in a couple of TV ads recently?

Nope! I think a lot of these recent ads that feature old cars are shot in South Africa and New Zealand.
