Stonham barns Car Show photos

[trigger]

Here's a selection of half arsed photos i took yesterday whilst at Stonham Barns, there was over 1100 cars booked in so I'm told although I'm sure there wasn't that many?. Still a good day though.

 

This Marina is the owners daily driver and is now on 180000 miles having never been restored or rebuilt, ALL MARINAS R SHIT M8.

 

 

 

A few Granada fanciers were there, I would love to get dirty with a old Granny.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Volvo club was there celcracing a 50th birthday.

 

 

 

The owner of this 240 GL was telling me he's so far £9000 into it, £5000 alone on a respray, and you think you've got problems...

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beauty was for sale.

This Nova belong to the owners grandmother from new, it's only done 19000 's been through 10 clutches in it's time!

 

 

This one's a young lads daily driver, it's very much work in progress!

 

 

Another one that's only just gone back on the road on Saturday, unbelievably it's done 150000 miles and was looking great, 1.8 diesel GL with electric windows and rev counter, posh!

 

 

This very early Astra belongs to the black GTE owners girlfriend, she's only recently got it.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't decided if thsi Escort pickup was factory or some homebrew conversion as it was quite poor looking and the wheel arches were wonky.

 

 

This van was once Pogweasels which a friend has recently bought to go with his collection of restored Vauxhalls him and his dad have done.

This Escort is lovely, a totally standard and original 2 door, unseen these days!

 

 

 

 

V8 powered Dolly.

 

 

 

 

 

This tidy Maestro van was rather erotic.

 

 

 

The Foxhall Stadium Mondeo V6 pace car from around 2000 has recently been found and put back on the road again by some friends, it was making it debut here leading some vintage stock cars.

 

 

 

and there you have it, I seem to have missed out shit loads as normal but it's still something for you to look at!

Superlative stuff , That Rapier/Alpine will do me nicely

[Brodders]

Looks like there were some great cars there. I can understand exactly what you mean about the Granadas; especially after seeing the ones that were there. Also really like the Mondeo pace car too, it is nice to see something like that given some attention.

 

Thanks for posting up the pictures anyway Trigger. Did any other Shitters make it there?

Ditto, and no. Despite it being fairly local to me.

 

Saw that Maestro van up this way a few years ago, good to see it's still around.

 

I'm also pleased to see the Spedeworth Mondeo. What next, the Motaquip Talbot Solara they used in the '80s?......

I'll have:

 

The Harvest gold Marina

Consul Mark II

Onyx green Granada on late Ghia alloys

Rekord Coupe.

 

 

 

That Escort pick up is spectacularly shit, and the '2002 Turbo', isn't.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

You know what; every time I see a 2002, I'm reminded of how fucking ugly they are. To think this came from the same firm that turned out the E9 Coupe. 

[Ghosty]

Looked up that Volvo 262 before I realised it's on a private plate- the MOT ran out two weeks ago, bet the owner's forgotten or something.

[95 quid Peugeot]

I'm gutted   i sat in a traffic jam to get there from Stowmarket side of the A140, got pissed off and turned around at footy club in Stonham  should of stuck with it

[trigger]

I heard a lot of people moan about the traffic and having to wait a hour to get in. It was worth it though.
