Cpt.70s goes to Fraserburgh to see old motors - 2016 edition.

[captain_70s]

Today was a car show, unlike the "How Many Left" show the weather forcast suggested it wouldn't piss it down so I grabbed my camera, jumped in the depressingly functional Civic and hit the road heading East, to the Broch.

 

Parking in the "don't have a good enough car to show or turned up late" car park was a new thing for me, as usual the car park contained some of the best spots but we'll do them last. I paid £6 to get in and later paid £9 for a burger, chips and a bottle of coke... Expensive shit this car show thing.

 

On arriving I was greeted by some Subarus, although a couple were 1st gen Imprezas which I quite like.

 

 

There was a few cars I'd not seen before like this rather menacing Triumph 2500PI.

 

 

This Yank monster, Plymouth Duster I think?

 

 

This Volvo 144, in ghastly green.

 

 

A pair of ADO16s, (one being a GT).

 

 

Vittesse.

 

 

Commer dormobile and racing support vans:

 

 

This beige Wolseley.

 

 

This very rare Morris Oxford Traveller. The owner got the police on his ass for leaving his dogs in the back.

 

 

This Triumph which was owned by a young bloke who later fell asleep in the back seat.

 

 

This Viva HC was also new.

 

 

As was this lovely Corsair.

 Erm, the 'Commers' are Ford Thames vans. But other than that little hiccup those are good pics of good cars.

[captain_70s]

There were also the usual selection of old favourites that show up most years.

 

This scruffy MGB GT

 

 

A60 van.

 

 

GPO van.

 

 

Mk3 Spitty.

 

 

Clean SuperMinx with a confederate flag in the tax disc holder...

 

 

205

 

 

106

 

 

Wover 2000.

 

 

This gorgeous drophead Talbot Sunbeam.

 

 

Triumph 2500 estate.

 

 

And a Ford belonging to the same chap.

 

 

Broon Cresta.

 

 

Opel Kadett that gets about.

 

 

Amazin Amazon.

 

 

A million billion Fords.

 

 

Staaaaaaaaag.

 

 

Und ze Beemers, ja?

 

[captain_70s]

Also saw TWO Acclaims.

 

The first of which I know the owner of, he recently sold his "CD" to a chap I know doon sooth and has replaced it with a mint condition "L".

 

 

He also gave me this, as I am Cullen's primary BL hoarder...

 

 

The other was the "Y" reg which I failed to buy in 2014, because I had no money. The current owner bought it in 2015 as a non-runner as the young guy who'd bought it had shoved on some alloys, fitted a huge stereo + bucket seats, tinted the lights and then shredded the timing belt...

It's now running again (non-interference engine ftw) and has been resprayed in the original colour + the old wheels and seats are back in it.

 

 

Here is a pair of tiny cars in British and Italian flavours:

 

 

A fast MG.

 

 

A Tilly.

 

 

Some fucked cars belonging to some drift team or something.

 

 

TRACTORS!

 

 

LORRIES!

 

 

Stuff too old for me to know anything about!

 

 

That was about everything so I did a circuit of the car park and found this lot:

 

 

Also, yes they are Ford Thames, I iz teh retard. Also didn't wear sunscreen and now my face hurts, I always get sunburn at Fraserburgh...

[Wilko220]

Looks ace.

Isn't the black Plymouth a Valiant though? Like, as in...

I think the Duster is the two door fastbackish variant of the Valiant saloon. I might be wrong though.

[RoadworkUK]

Looks a damn fine day out.

 

I'd love to have a go in an Acclaim again.

[Felly Magic]

Nice shots there Looked a good show. Food vendors often have to pay a small fortune to stand at shows, which they pass on by charging eleventy hundred pounds for a tepid can of coke and a cone of chips

[danthecapriman]

Excellent pics and lots of nice stuff.

 

The red mk2 Granada is a mega rare Sport model, hence the (factory correct) white alloys. They did an estate version too believe it or not, which is even rarer.

The food was actually quite good, if not the cheapest!

I did think the white alloys were unusual. The owner actually owns that whole row of cars and they are all rather nice. He and his wife had to drive them down to the show ground a couple at a time over several days as I think he lives out near Inverness or something!

You didn't know the difference between a commer and a Thames but you knew what a ww2 Tilly was when most people don't.

 

You are hitler aicmfp

[oldcars]

Great photos looks a good day out.

[mercrocker]

Great pics there, Cap'n.   I reckon that key ring was worth the price of admission.   

 

As for the Oxford owner, the polis should be all over him for that ghastly Oxford lettering too.   Nice rare car in lovely nick and he sticks poond shop letters on the wing instead of a £20 script.
