quicksilver Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Yesterday my friend Mervyn hosted a car show in his home village of Willington near Bedford. He reckons there were over 200 cars present, a record for this little show. Here's some highlights.

mercrocker Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 What a great show. That Cresta is bloody awesome. Uncle Jimmy and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCub Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 ^^ True, nice to see originality for a change. Both the Cresta and just for a change, a non-GTi Mk1 Golf. Love the Panhard, the Bijou and the Ami. Still want a S1 or 2 CRX. Had a Cav in that colour blue (but this one's way better!) and dad had an identical saloon to the one shown (F-reg IIRC). That chrome-arched Beemer needs a sympathetic facelift though!!!! God it's awful. Why? Mercs - You should buy the Caddy - ideal for cruising your New Forest 'hood............ mercrocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The photo of the Cresta was taken in 1982, right? mercrocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think that Mk3 Cav might be the rare buttery biscuit base 4x4 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think that Mk3 Cav might be the rare buttery biscuit base 4x4 versionI'm not sure it is. I don't think the info sheet mentioned it being 4x4 and I'm sure I would have remembered if it did, plus it's an automatic. Did a 2wd 2.0 L exist? Either way it must be a rarity with the big engine and basic trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't know what the solution is, but I live about 10 minutes away from here and had absolutely no idea it was happening - otherwise I'd have brought the Sierra over for a laugh. As I say, I don't know what the solution is - but I keep missing good events. The answer is probably getting a better social secretary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next one is on the evening of Tuesday 1st August from 6pm to sunset so if you can make it please do bring the Sierra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
