Six-cylinder Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It seems Network Rail lost one of its trains and sent the helicopter to look for it, but we did not have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 This chap keep telling people he had a Rover, but we never saw it! That was when he was not telling them about when he had a Cortina..... But he did arrive in a chauffeur driven Marina! chaseracer, strangeangel, oldcars and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Will get my photos up later. I had serious horn over a couple of the MGs and there was a jaw droppingly nice red Vitesse hatchback...

Craig the Princess Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 So this was junior the princess's first show which he seemed to enjoy by mainly sleeping That Flamenco special is owned by my friend Peter week lurks on here. That was at a show/shitters price, it will be more on car and classic/eBay (but still at that price to people on here) Lots of BL tat but not many pictures as I was generally on daddy duty. Best non-BL tin was this Singer Chamois A good day all round, managed to escape most of the showers.

quicksilver Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Looks like most of the best stuff has already been posted but my selection is on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/quicksilver_coaches/albums/72157674371429285 The grey Vanden Plah is a rare non-picnic tables version with the map pockets instead, apparently the only roadworthy Mk1 and one of only three painted that colour to special order. Didn't even notice the grey Montego is a left-hooker. Imported just this year so I wonder what the story is? XJ12 is weird, original UK-supplied RHD car but with US-spec bumpers. Seeing that Allegro convertible proves my mum right after 20-odd years. One of them ran into her Metro and she was adamant it was definitely an Allegro convertible but in those pre-internet days both myself and my dad refused to believe any such thing existed.

trigger Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 You should have come and said hello to me Craig, your friend came over and said hello but i didn't know which one you were! I'm thinking about buying that Allegro myself to be honest, my friend wanted it but can't afford it, i can afford it but already have the Dolomite but the sweet sounding 1500 engine with the 5 speed and that really comfy interior is really drawing me in.

rantingYoof Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I also grabbed some photos on my D80. I've found my Potatoshop sliders and I very much edit for my own personal taste, which happens to be like smashing a kaleidoscope into your face repeatedly. Nevertheless, I present them here for your horror*. As you may tell, the weather was best described as changeable. I blame the incredibly bright sunshine for somehow getting a couple of shots out of focus. Even when there isn't any. A Vandenplas when it works. Adored this giffer-spec Maestro - the best colour combination... My favourite in this line was the C-reg 1.0... 'Montgomery' was part of an inspired collection of Montegos and Maestros This looks damn fine... SnrYoof's choice of motor was this spiffing V6 75 with every bell and whistle... 216 glory... This was my choice of motor - perfection! Calling Bub.... Pure class. I noted the V12 badge and actually heard money crying. inconsistant, Alexg, oldcars and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Nice 75 - is that a later numberplate surround on the back? It looks wonderfully clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I only took 2 photos, the customised Wolesley Six because I've never seen a 'crab on alloys ( apart from Minilites, obvs) and an Audi 100 ,which I parked next to in the civilian carpark. rantingYoof, RobT, trigger and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Just realised a couple of things.1. That's an Austin 1800 not a Wolesely Six.2.

There were two, yes TWO of them at Brooklands on new year's day. A surprisingly attractive conversion I reckon: oldcars and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Nice 75 - is that a later numberplate surround on the back? It looks wonderfully clean. Belongs to my mate Alex. It's the right surround, but it's missing the boot badge. He bought it after driving mine and realising he needed one - his is a lot nicer than my £250 hack though! oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
