Quite a few of these were at the Lytham classic car show and are in the spotters thread, if I had known this show was happening I would have gone, about 20 minutes from me

Is that a modern Audi next to this? Hopefully that's not going to be a new trend. Far too many RS Focus and Boxsters appearing at classics shows. 😕

Grump over.

 

Anyway, great pics.

I noticed that at the Lytham Classic car show last Sunday, there were a few RS Focus that were modified and looked stupid

There was, probably about half a dozen RS Focuses (Foci?) and other things I feel are not really part of a classics show, including a 71 Plate Bini Cabrio that had been mildly tarted up.
One "owner" of a pimped RS said "dont you want a photo of this?" as I was photographing a capri next to it - I felt like that Nazi sympathiser priest from Father Ted when I said "No, that sort of thing wouldnt interest me at all".

Why would he say that, it's like he is trying to force you to like his car, not everyone likes a modified modern, when I went to Lytham I didn't photograph any of the modern cars such as the modified Focuses that were there

What a thing to ask 😆 What was his reaction?

It is Peter Hunter indeed, and yes he has others.

Some great stuff there, excellent patina on the HA Viva.

Rover P5B Coupe or L-reg Cortina Mk3 Estate for me please, ta.
