The owner of this spent most of the morning polishing it, in direct sunlight on a black car, what a mug!

This chopped London Taxi was awful, God know what he was thinking when designing it!

This really tatty Merc 250D is apparently a running restoration... The other side was hanging just as much.

This Fiat 126 was very different!

This Chopped taxi on the other was in a different league to the first one.

I know the guy who runs that Taxi - it's brilliant*. Was built literally a s a bit of a laugh to load up with sailing gear and tow a boat behind - got a 2.8 Nissan Patrol diesel in for EXTRA POINTS.

Cheers guys, that's most kind, Whilst i was there my mate who has a 1963 Ford Fairlane V8 had left his lights on leaving his battery flat so we jumped it of my Cortina without any fuss, luckily though we found my alternator was only just hanging on! so fortunately another mate had some spanners so tightened it back up for me, phew! I took these on the way home, I love it!

I love the look of your Cortina, Trig. It has an air of 'proud third owner, circa 1980' about it :)

Nice seeing you again Matt, I wanted to get a photo of your van but i never made it back to that corner again. Ref your RR post, I heard that there was a few classics on display at the Toyota garage a few weeks back, 80's and 90's rally cars but i didn't know about the Corona, gutted i never stopped by to take a look now!

Some lush kit there!  Especially that blue Cortina, anyone know who owns it?  ;)

Posted

Great pics, nice spot that place is too....   That 126 reminds me, for some reason,  of the little plastic Lone Star buggies I got my mum to send off for in 1970!

Love the red MK4 XR3i (G21 VOO) not seen one looking as tidy and original as that for a while.

Posted

Green Triumph and airbrushed T-bird for me, thankyouplease.

Didn't even know this show was going on; but I was at a wedding in Norfolk all weekend anyway. As it happens I'm pretty sure I saw a few of those semi-rat patina'd US trucks at Cringleford Services, where I indulged in a Travelodge for the night.

 

Your Cort' looks a little ill at ease photographed at The Hythe; it needs to be somewhere with more Brutalist concrete and less 2005 mediocrity. Fit az phuk though.

Love the 126 and the second taxi, they were great.

Not too keen on the green Dolly, and seeing as the grille means it's probably a 1500 at best... Why bother?!

Your Cortina looks great, hope you can keep it that way so tidy.
