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


trigger

Recommended Posts

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.

This 320 was for sale, 1 owner from new and only 35000 miles on the clock, it was still like new, It was up for £4495 which didn't sound too OTT to me.

Excellent work as always Trig! :D

Isn't Russell Davies the producer of Doctor Who? :shock:

 

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! :D This is what it's all about to me, show them off and enjoy driving them.

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

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! 8) Have you posted any pics of the new seats in situ?

More excellent pics trigger :D

 

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:

 

7152198487_670904686e_b.jpg

 

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.

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...

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.

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...

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

 

:lol: 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!

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.

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).

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!
