Another weekend, another carshow!! Here we go again.

[55bloke]

Actually, it was the Pickering Steam Fair, which is a truly wonderful event for those of us with a love of old machinery- about 4 or 5 fields full of virtually every type of old, wheeled conveyance imaginable. The classic car section conained some gems, but I'll TRY and keep the pics limited to the particularly unusual or interesting!! There was a massive fun-fair as well as the vehicles and, as usual, there was a bunch of interesting old commercials associated with the fair-ground folk.

Bedford TKs, I think.

Big Yank

Mk 1 Tranny. Slightly worried about what the chap standing behind it is up to!!!

Mazda

Not sure

'nother Tranny

Interesting Moggy pick-up

Old Austin

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Wow, I love that Mazda! Brilliant!

[55bloke]

Handy to have your own fuel tanker!

Fordson plus series 1 Landy

Beautiful Dormobile

Equally lovely Austin

Slightly roomier!

Big Austin van

Genius display of shite!

Gotta go and have my dinner now, but more to come!

[seth]

Car transporters are superb! I've never seen a set-up like that before.

[55bloke]

a few more for tonight

This was badged ROYAL- new to me. Goggomobile?

This is new to me too- seemed to have a door at both ends!!

Special edition Moggy 100000. Remember thinking they were a horrid colour at the time!

]

Amazing Minis!

[michiel]

Oh my Gooooood, a Janus!!!The other thing's basically an Isar T700 I think...(edit: cock! apparently they were Goggomobil at first, then later Glas Isar to distinguish them from the microcars)

I think that the mystery vehicle is a Douglas Timber Tractor, which is IIRC is based on an AEC truck, but 4WD and with a socking great winch on the back.

 

I just love that car transporter with load, fantastic

[wuvvum]

'nother Tranny

 

Wow. That has to be the earliest diesel Transit I've ever seen. Wonder if it still has its Perkins 4.108?

[s2driver]

At the risk of being microcar anorak of the day, the Janus is a Zundapp, made between '57 and '58 and the Glas Isar T700 was badged as the royal for the British market. Wonder how many they sold. Just this one? And why does the bloke in the trannie look so bloody miserable?

[Dead_E23]

The Bubblecar Museum at Cranwell has a Zundapp Janus which I was absolutely captivated by when I visited recently. Sadly it was in pretty poor shape.I subsequently found the website of a Microcar museum in America which also has a Zundapp, with a brief history - and it looks virtually identical to the one you've spotted! What are the chances of that, I wonder?

The plate above the left headlamp said something about it being at Heathrow airport!

[keef]

GREAT idea!

 

Just what I need to transport my fleet around.

 

May we use these on the 1100 Club website < http://www.the1100club.com/ > please?

[seth]

I'm wondering if it'd be worth finding a transporter like that and using it to store the fleet on the road without needing to tax them. Just tax the truck

Great lateral thinking Seth.

Get a pre-73 and no need to pay to tax the transporter either

[seth]

I think it'd be exempt from the London pollution zone too. Winner all round!

[Dead_E23]

I think it'd be exempt from the London pollution zone too. Winner all round!

Surely only if it was petrol engined, though? The LEZ seems to include pretty much anything diesel and commercial - from 2010 even Land Rovers are verboten, excepting station wagons.

By all means, please do!! Be nice if you could put a photo credit with them.

Ok, here goes with another installment:-

Moggy Traveller on Minilites- think I rather like!

Shitey Triumph

Nice VX

Fond as I am of the Mk 1 'Tina, this is a pretty horrid example! Lots of filler under what looks like a good respray.

Magnificently naff Reliant passion-wagon combo!

Cool Hillman

and another

[55bloke]

Not especially remarkable Jag

Except for the wonderful addition to the leaping cat!!

A bunch of tasty Vauxhalls:-

Magnificent pair!!

Just had a look at the TFL website:

 

"Exemptions

 

The following vehicles are automatically exempt from the LEZ if registered in Great Britain. These will not need to be registered with TfL and are not subject to the daily charge:

 

* Vehicles designed and built for mainly off-road use, but which may be used on the road for limited purposes, including:

- Agricultural and forestry tractors

- Mowing machines

- Agricultural and farm machinery and equipment

- Mobile cranes

- Road and building construction machinery

* Historic vehicles (built before 1 January 1973)

* Military vehicles "

Merc- class or crass?

Definately class

Definately crass!

Pumped Citroen

So fresh, it's not even off the trailer!

Lovely

car park spot

This, in many ways, the star of the show for me:-

Fantastic, unrestored Ford Model Y, but new number plates and lights.....

plus new battery, coil and wash bottle....

together with current tax disc and keys in ignition, suggest a new MoT and drivable!

[55bloke]

Finally, just a couple of Veedubs spotted recently, which I felt worth including, though they weren't at this show.

Surely the rattiest of the rat look?

I just liked this one, spotted at Rother Valley. Trying hard to be cool, but somehow not quite making it!

[michiel]

Great!-------------------------------------linkslinkslinkslinkslinkslinkslinks-------------------------------------Seriously, that Y is fab.

[Milford Cubicle]

What on earth is that ungainly Yank thing?

[Guest]

Looks like an Oldsmobile Cutlass "Salon".

[r.welfare]

Aye. Olds and Buick went with steroid-ridden-Chrysler-Alpine-esque style for their midsizers in 78 and 79 - sales dropped to zero so they went back to formal saloons for the early 80s. Think Buford T Justice's wheels in Smokey & The Bandit 3 and you'll be on the money...
