ECR 8th October Show Pics

[Brodders]

On Sunday it was what I believe to be the last East Coast Retros meet this year. Unusually, it took place on a Sunday (contrasting with the usual weekday evening meets), which meant that there were a number of cars which I had not seen at any previous shows. I enjoyed it a lot and would like to thank Trigger and everyone else who organised it for setting up such a good meet (and for the free Haynes manual).

 

Anyway, without any further ado, the pictures, starting with a classic Ford which is a bit different to the normal ones that you see at shows.

 

 

Late X1/9

 

 

80s Essex throwback

 

 

Old Ford's Cortina

 

 

Featuring alongside Trigger's SD1 (It was the first time I had seen it in real life, and it is very, very nice)

 

 

 

 

More classic Rover action

 

 

Vauxhall Victor

 

 

Zodiac

 

 

Two (slightly different) Novas

 

 

 

Ford Zephyr Six (Thanks Mercrocker)

 

 

Twin axle P100

 

 

Very tidy Accord

 

 

Yellow Capri duo

 

 

Although I am not normally a fan of modified cars, I did like this all black 900 Turbo.

 

 

Rare non pink and rusty Combo

 

 

Mk2 Astra SRi, with burberry check seats (unfortunately not seen here)

 

 

R8 sans wood

An Audi from when they were cool

 

 

Mustang

 

 

Pair of 190s

 

 

And a 230

 

 

Monza

 

 

Minty BMW estate

Ford Galaxie

 

 

A Passat that has thankfully escaped pineappling

 

 

I got to have a seat in this Ginetta and found it impossible to reach the pedals and be seated comfortably. You must have bloody long legs and a tiny body to be able to drive one of these for any distance.

 

 

Living the 90s American high school jock dream

 

 

I never got to speak to him, but apparently the owner of this Studebaker sounded an awful lot like Trigger, which caused a great deal of amusement to quite a few people.

 

 

I know it is not Autoshite material, but I do like a Sapphire Cosworth

 

 

More Yank tanks

 

 

 

Mk2 Granada Ghia.

 

 

A multitude of Alfas, including a very early Alfetta

 

 

 

 

And to end, my highlight from the show, AngryDicky's Vauxhall Royale, with some of the best burgundy velour seats I have ever seen. Absolutely superb.

You are absolutely right, it even has the Zephyr badge on the back of it.

 

Thanks for letting me know though, I would never have noticed.

P100 is twin wheel not twin axle.

He's grafted a Mk2 Transit rear end onto it, it looks pretty good, he hopes to fit a Harvey Frost type frame next.

 

Thanks for sharing the photos and glad you had a good time.
