Trig's Show Photos - Allsorts of shite 23/11

31,981 · May 7, 2012

Every year there's a classic car run from Christchurch Park here in Ipswich to Felixstowe prom, For me this is one of the best shows of the year as you get to see so many different cars and drive in convey with 300-400 other classic vehicles to the sunny Felixstowe seafront.

Sadly this years wasn't so sunny, it pissed it down all morning but that didn't stop people coming down to the park and standing on the side of the roads all the way to Felixstowe, It really is a sight too see, and it gave me good chance to play my air horns!.

So here's a selection of photos i took.

The people outside the pub was typical of what it's like the whole 10-15 miles to Felixstowe.

Excellent work as always Trig!

1974 Scania Super 110 Lorry by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

Isn't Russell Davies the producer of Doctor Who?

Now if I can take the edge off the compliment with a bit of pedantry...

A 1200 Super Anglia will be a 123E not a 105E;

The Sceptre was made by Humber not Hillman;

A Rambler would be a Rogue not a Rouge.

These aside, I'm so glad to see almost all of them out and about! This is what it's all about to me, show them off and enjoy driving them.

31,981 · May 7, 2012

After all of these years I still suck at labeling photos!, I'm often getting corrected on Flickr too!, Nevermind! I'm glad you like them.

May 8, 2012

Fantastic photos, I really enjoyed looking though those.

I'm a big fan of the PC Cresta and you managed to find two of them!

1956 Chevrolet i think? by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

I think it's earlier, the one-piece windscreen places it at 1953/54. I'm struggling with the grille though, that doesn't look like a Chevy grille but I can't find another that matches it. I'm thinking Oldsmobile, probably, but it could be Pontiac. Oldsmobile got the wraparound screen for 54 which at least would help to date it.

Comes to me as a '53 with those round indicators, '54 had oval indicator lights

16,871 · May 8, 2012

Great pics as usual Trig...

1969 Volvo 164 by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

Interestingly (to me, at least), the first car I remember my Dad owning was a Ford Cortina YGU 983G

1.3k · May 8, 2012

Great pics! I'm sure that Hunter is a special edition 'Topaz'.

The PC Cresta appeals to me greatly. I'd love to get hold of that and give it a quaity respray...it would look the nuts.

Your Cortina looks stunning in that photo! Have you posted any pics of the new seats in situ?

30,567 · May 8, 2012

More excellent pics trigger

I love the Minor pic against the beach huts.

I wish this was closer as I'd love to see it - such a varied selection.

The DAF 2800 is superb, dont see many older ones like these even at shows.

I've just noticed:

You can see the headlight cowls for the lower cab on smaller engined models above the headlights on this 'high datum' model. Never noticed that before!

Thanks for sharing!

On Sunday i went to a little car show in the village of Little Clacton (next to big Clacton) in Essex, It's normally a good show with some interesting cars due to it's chilled out atmosphere and the fact you can come and go as you please with no booking in.

1982 Ford Cortina 2.0 Crusader by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

This tidy Crusader still had it's Maidenhaed Ford stickers.

Thank you kind sir!

The Sage Green 61 convertible turned up at our event yesterday, after the competitors had left for the road run. I therefore didn't see it until we got back for lunch. Didn't stay long either, the owner doesn't seem interested in joining-in with events. I must post up my pics...

31,981 · May 22, 2012

Just wondering, are my photos too big for some people or too many? I did expect a bit more interest and wondered if the file size was slowing peoples computers down.

31,981 · May 22, 2012

Duplicate post!

6,582 · May 22, 2012

They tend to be too big for my screen Trig, a slightly smaller size would allow me to see more of the vehicle without having to open each image individually (and now that Firefox has updated itself to the latest version, it's not simple to do so unlike the old version I used to run) and will also help reduce the time taken to load the images.

31,981 · May 22, 2012

Thank you, the trouble is i prefer to see them in bigger size as you can see more but i wondered if that was too large for some peoples computers and phones to handle.

I'll post them smaller in future.

31,981 · June 9, 2012

After a change of plans this morning i ended up going to a little village show instead today called the Aldham old tyme rallye in White Colne in Essex (it used to be in Aldham but they haven't chnaged the name), It's one of those steam shows with tractors and lots of country folk walking around in overalls and wellies, There's often some interesting cars here...

1990 Volvo 740 2.4 Diesel Estate by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

I imagine the number plate is worth more then the car here.

1985 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 LD by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

Quality street tin display, only in Britain eh Was there an old dear sitting next to them frantically knitting ready to tell you about them?!

31,981 · June 9, 2012

Was there an old dear sitting next to them frantically knitting ready to tell you about them?!

Almost, but it was a old boy in a deck chair with his arms crossed half asleep, Even worse though was that the caravan next to it that had a display of old shoe polish, mints and eye shadow tins!

June 9, 2012

That Peugeot P4 is a G - Wagen. They were also badged as Panhards for the French Armee, as a way of keeping the flag flying without admitting they were buying military equipment off the Germans.

31,981 · June 9, 2012

Now that's interesting, I thought there was more then a passing similarity between the two, It's the kind of car I'd expect Mr Bickle to have in a lock up somewhere!

June 9, 2012

Great pics - apart from the pt cruiser which makes me want to staple my eyes shut

47,210 · June 10, 2012

Great pics!!! That looks like the classic local 'field full of mental cases' car show thats always a great day out.

8,844 · June 10, 2012

Not a Car Show for old people, by old people, by any chance?

An excellent effort, nonetheless. There's something going on in Lawford soon, I mustn't forget to investigate.

31,981 · June 10, 2012

Not a Car Show for old people, by old people, by any chance?.

That would be the one!, It's on again today if your at a loose end, also of interest to you Earl is next Saturday is the Manningtree car show, You'll be able to take the Rover down there if you so wished, I'm planning on going in the afternoon but not displaying the Cortina as I'm working the night before so i won't be able to get there before 10.45am (when the gates close).

31,981 · June 10, 2012

If any one is interested i have a list of all the local (East Anglia) car shows on this year that i can send via a email. PM me your email address if you want a copy.

8,844 · June 10, 2012

It's Mummy RWUKs Bidet today, so we're off for a slap-up grill, but I'll deffo be at the Manningtree one; I'm working SatMorn so it'll be an afternoon thing. I'll be bringing loads of crisp fivers in case there's something monumentally shit at the autojumble that Iabsolutelycannotlivewithout. Alas, the Rover is deep in slumber at the mo, where it'll stay until the garage is clear at the new abode. I'll be in t'Audi.

I think it's being held in Lawford, where the Tendring Hundred Show happens?

Also: Post that list!

31,981 · June 10, 2012

Your right, it is at Lawford but at the football club. http://www.manningtreevehicleshowrevival.co.uk/ If it's dry i'll take the Tina but just park it in the spectators field part.

I can't post the list on here as it was sent to me as a PDF file hence email only!
