A load of old Fords in a field in Essex (Pic heavy)

32,747 · August 25, 2012

So last Sunday I found myself going to the Ford show at the Battlesbridge Antique centre near Sa'fend, If your local and like Fords then this is the place to be, Sadly they crammed as all in a bit tight and parked me and my mates right in front of the burger van and we had people leaning on our cars and even had children standing on the bonnets

Anyway less waffle and more pictures.

Cor! Great pics. I'll have the red N reg 2000E please.

Woah Trig! OSF overload!

I'm not normally a fan of this stuff, but some of those would get it. Repeatedly, and for prolonged periods of time.

1982 Ford Cortina 1.6 GL & 1982 Ford Cortina 1.6 Crusader by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

I know both of these. EJN inhabits a driveway near Shoebury station, in fact I didn't think it was on the road. VRJ comes from the same area, the driver has given me the thumbs up on a couple of occasions when he's seen me in my A55.

Great pics! I'm not really a Ford guy to be honest, but there's some cars there even I wouldn't kick out of bed. I wish they held Austin/BMC rallies at Battlesbridge, but you have to go oop North for those.

32,747 · August 26, 2012

EJN had only just been bought by a mate of the other Cortinas, it's only done 63k and is a tidy old thing.

The lads been after it a long while until the owner of VRJ got bounced on by the owner of it in a supermarket car park last week, he gave Ã‚Â£900 for it which isn't bad.

A kid stood on your bonnet?!!! I'd have gone absolutely mental.

Any Cortina Mk1 'Woody' Estates there, Trig? My favourite Ford of, like, EVAH!

134,704 · August 26, 2012

Nice work again, Trigg.

That bog standard Mk2 Escort is ace, it should stay like that forever instead of ebing turned into some cock and bollocks 'rally car' or something that it's not.

I concur. It looks so miserable, that it's cool.

3,567 · August 26, 2012

Some lovely stuff there.

That bog standard Mk2 needs making into a nicely epic rally car though They were pretty shit standard, and not worth keeping like that...

the corsair woulda got it all night <3

+1 at the kid - baseball bat till death or head in the chicken fat bin till unconsious.........

I wasn't impressed, I never saw it luckily, a friend in another car watched it happen and told me, by the time he'd got out of his car the parent had noticed and got the kid off, and there was a Mk1 Woody there but i never photographed it as I've got loads of old photos of it already.

Thats a bit strong - the kid probably is unaware of the boundaries of etiquette when it comes to car show. I would suspect that kid has probably been 'dragged up' to date with no boundaries instilled. Thus, it should be the parents that are 'told off' - with or without the baseball bat.

Superb shots. Looks like a good show. Love the Granada content

3,567 · August 26, 2012

That black 2.8 injection Granny is giving me ideas.

5,226 · August 27, 2012

Back in the day, when mark 1 Escorts were the car of preference for rallying and the works teams had the Mexico/2 litre scene stitched up we used to use '1300 screamers' which were in a different class because of the smaller engine. Still didn't win much silverware though.
