It may have been BMC/BL day, but I went in the 2CV, and was pleased to see some other non-BL stuff too. And I got a workshop manual for the Triumph Herald/Vitesse which might be handy...

 

I haven't cropped images yet, sorry.

Yup. I much like Mashs's Datsun.There were loads of dutch there but I managed to get pretty much zero photos of NL-shite. There were even a few Germans there. Shite-love is Euro-wide for sure.

Now that you mention it, the two Metro shots before the last one feature Dutch cars!

Thanks for showing me what i missed. First time I've not been for a few years. We were busy elsewhere watching mostly old folk rag the nuts of ancient cars with aeroplane engines fitted.... :D

That Morris wedge looks very familiar, I can't remember where I've seen it before though!

I look like the hunchback of Longbridge! :roll::P

 

Some stunning and rare cars there. My fave of the day was a beautifully restored Marina TC coupe in a colour I've not seen before. Will get my snaps up eventually.

 

BMC/BL autojumble and I came home with a hubcap for my Datsun Violet - go figure!

Is the Morris Wedge Nick Larkins?

I was with Peter Simpson when it came in, and he thought it might have been. It isn't now but when I saw Nick later in the day, I forgot about it as I was a bit overcome by the deliciously shambolic state of his P4...

I went to the show, nice weather great cars. Didnt get the inner wing I needed for my Allegro though!Dollywobbler, you passed me on the way in on the fast dual carriageways. I couldnt keep up. I never realised 2CVs were so nippy!

Ah, was that you in the Audi Tim? Thought it looked a bit RR-ish. Had some bloody good fun hooning about on that roundabout, taking the Civic up in the inside (they never expect me to be going that quick...)2CVs are slow - the trick is to not slow down... :lol:

These pics make me wish I'd known about it earlier and formed a plan! I've been to this event twice before in my pre-digital days. I must find the pics and scan them in. Mark.

TC looks rather impressive! Despite the sporty appearance of the wheels, it would seem they have no slots - what look like them are just painted on?On the subject of early Wedges, a few weeks ago I saw a yellow one which a local dealer had for sale on Car & Classic. Was being trailered south down the A140, obviously sold. A nice sight.

More selected highlights

 

Extremely tidy earlyish Maxi in suitably shitey colour:

Same colour but considerably more scarce OMG MARINA VAN!

 

Posted Image

 

Who'd have thought it? It was bloody mint mind you:

 

Posted Image

 

Can't make up my mind if this was standard colour for Allegros:

 

Posted Image

 

This is STUNNING. Seen before but always worth a drool. Belongs to that vicar fella:

Maestro club very enthusiastic this year and showing cars in typical poses... :P

Trompe l'oeuil rims, innit? Didn't even see that, now I like them even more. 4x114.3 pcd by any chance?

Don't think they are, thought it's only Marina van/pickups that are 114.3mm?

Hmm, think you're right - this is 4x95.something.

Ooh, is that Limeflower on that greeny-yellow Aggro? Anything's possible.Great to see an early Maestro with those 12-hole steel wheels. Chrome mirror cappings and headrest pads make me think it might be a 1.6 HLS masquerading as a VDP?

Nice to see standard, worth a trillion pounds no doubt:

Vanden Plas 500 - very rare:

Very beige, very low mileage:

I have always wanted one of these. Would love to tear up behind old chaps with lights blazing and bell ringing :twisted::lol:

This was lovely, done just right:

Close ups of that wedge:

Badge says it all really. The browny gold velour seats in this were hideous - I thought they would have been black or grey:
