East Coast Retros August Meet (Includes Hot Daihatsu action)

[Felly Magic]

Just a few shots from tonight, one photo contains 2 members of this parish. waxing lyrical over a little Japanese shopping car, which I think 'Herr Triggahoffen' would love to own

 

The meet was stupendous, I'd say about 100 cars there tonight. Well done to Herr Triggahoffen and his mate Woobywoo Ward:) 

 

The Allegro is the stuff of legends around Suffolk now I think

 

 

Even a humungous Chrysler Newport for eddyramrod to gawp at

 

Enjoy.

 

More later

That Mondeo has a Metro bonnet badge by the way

[Partridge]

That Charade looks familiar   

[wuvvum]

Shit, I missed out on seeing the Charade too.  I really should have left work earlier.  Or not gone in on the scooter so I could have driven down straight from work.  Or ridden down on the scooter.  No, actually that would have been fucking stupid.  The Orwell Bridge on a 32-year-old shopping bike really doesn't appeal.

I did wonder where you were Dave! I had a ride in the Chrysler Newport, Man that was fun, it's MASSIVE, one side was in the hedge and the was over the cats eyes! Awesome experience though. It's been a great night. Dugong is a hero driving across from Peterborough in the gorgeous little Charade for the meet!

[Felly Magic]

Dugong's Charade is a little peach. I bet you felt like a bunch of baddies from a 1970's US cop show in the big Chrysler.

One for the SCOTTISHVOLVOMASSIV now, a 940 in estate flavour

I'm knackered but before I go to bed here a few of my photos from tonight.

 

This is a minter, 71000 miles from new, like new inside too, the owner only paid £500 for it a few weeks back.

 

 

 

Lovely 2.0 Ghia S with locks at the bottom of the doors.

 

 

 

 

Former Autoshiters Celica.

 

 

This was recently pulled from a barn, it was due for banger racing but was saved as it was blocked in by 15 other cars. It had said for 15 years, needed a little TLC for the MOT and is now back on the road again.

 

 

 

Polish 126.

 

 

Dugong's Charade again.

 

 

 

 

Perana V8 Capri with a GT40 engine.

 

 

 

This had just had a photoshoot done for Practical Classics magazine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By this point it was getting dark...

As Triggs has already said, this is a very recent save. It has had plenty of welding done tbh, Baz was parking by touch though. Triggs you missed him hit the wall with it LOLOL

 

 

[trigger]

He's done a good job of that to be fair, the interior looks mint although the body is a bit scabby now.

[Felly Magic]

He has turned it round pretty quickly yep, and surprisingly it still has the Princes Street John Grose rear plate, which is porn for you Triggs

[HMC]

Great pics trig!! I was going to say my fave was the perana Capri but your cortina on second thoughts.
