Towcester Racecourse Car Meet, 9 June

[quicksilver]

It's been a very long time since I was able to post a show report but one actually happened yesterday A pleasant fairly small event at a nice local venue I hadn't been to before, organised by the people behind the Earls Barton meets. Quite a lot of modern supercars but plenty of variety among the classics too. Some show staples were conspicuous by their absence though - no Morris Minors, no TR7s and only one Mini!

Enough waffle, on with the photos...

Nice building that someone dumped an old Maxi in front of

Not shite but gorgeous and definitely going in my fantasy garage

1.6 Base Automatic

This was brilliant with all the correct details

LHD Viva messes with my head

We had a Metro like this

We also had a Dolomite like this but orange

Lesser spotted four-door Skyline makes a change from GTRs

7-series extremes - 728i meets 750iL

Not a Maxi

Some sort of Datsun

Cap-ri Ghia

Bizarre homebrew Mini-based roadster thing. Yes, that's a Moggie bonnet on the back!

Sandpiper. So much beige and brown

Never heard of a Nissan Laurel Medalist

One for Miss HubNut - someone else likes Mk5 Escort cabriolets

I had a beige Fiesta

Calibra 4x4 Turbo must be a rarity

Great to see a Maestro van

Metro diesel sounds like a grim means of transport

Is this the ex-Practical Classics 'Generally'?

Something quite menacing about this scruffy black Granada

Ridiculous Caddy

And finally, bizarre Japanese-spec 205 GTI automatic

Felt so good to finally be out at a show again.

Black and white plates on cars like that Capri annoy the hell out of me. Wants a pair of those raises digit plates for the era.

Cavalier base.

Didn't know you could fit an entire car meet in one of these tbh. I'm surprised they're not more flammable.
