Some classic cars there-and dealers showing new ones too. The only new one I was going to picture would have been a Kia Soul. But it was too awfull to do so.

Nice Volvo-with my prefered indicator style 8)

That has never been hot. Look at the exhaust, still pristine.

Too Perfect to use

Some truly lovely cars there. You can see why Mk 2 Cortina 1600Es are so saught-after, they just look so right! Think the pale green Consul Capri has been posted before- what an absolutely gorgeous thing it is!

The P6, what's that all about? Is that each panel in a different stock colour?

I love these Wolseley 1500/Riley 1.5 series cars-never see them anymore.

Thats it.....

Bronze SD1 looks class.Orange Mk1 Escort looks stunning, and I'm not an orange fan.

That P6 is remarkable and well worth a second look. The driver's side is very early - note the early Series 1 taillight that side and then look at the front - the grille is split between Series 1 and 2, but so is the bonnet!!

 

There's a lot of clever work gone into that.

I agree, I've seen the P6 a few times and it's always raised a smile. Clever stuff indeed, and so easy to do with everything bolting on.

Posted

Great photos. Is that first SD1 really a four cylinder car with Vitesse spoilers! :shock: I like the look of the ice cream van in the background of the white Mini shot 8)

Posted

Oh poop, I wished I'd remembered this was on, I'd have tried to sneak up in King Maz.

Ah, but it's cleverer than that. The bonnet is two welded together - or at least with the square bonnet hump welded into an earlier one. The grille is two different ones brought together. Even the over-riders are different!

Great piccys , the red Vauxhall is in superb condition especially as these really were water soluble , also looks like the jag is resposible for the demise of the worlds rain forests all on its own. :lol:

I 'heart' old Bristols.

 

Hey look, an Isuzu Minx!

That's rather nice and originally sold in Hull so of interest to me. The father of an old friend of mine had three small garages in the city in the 50s and 60s and had a Rootes franchise so it could conceivably be one supplied by him.

Lancia delta/and astra have been on here before in 2007-these pics were today.

Delta's been parked up since it was 2 years old and has only done 4.500 miles :shock: Road accident took it off the road-further accident breaking owners neck stopped rebuild.

Don't you just love those awkward 'aerodynamic' 60s hardtops?Good spots!
