DaveDorson Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Those who are not aware, the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire is the home of the Pork Pie and Stilton Cheese. During my visit to the vintage market, which was mostly people selling tat that wasn't vintage at all, I took some photos of the cars which have become part of the regular display during the event.

motorpunk Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Nice. Just up the road from me. Engine Yard at Belvoir is a good spot for a coffee nearby. DaveDorson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudster Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Looks like some kind of futuristic people carrier. It's different which I like, even if I don't like it (if that makes any sense!). Some nice cars there though, particularly like the red Spitfire and the Heralds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobloseven Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Is that big Humber one of those from the museum in Hull that closed down and the collection of Humbers split up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Charm Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 2 hours ago, Mudster said: Anyone know what the purple thing in this photo is? There's something naggingly familiar about it, which I can't properly place. Poking about on the internet hasn't helped, suggesting it might be a one off or custom. The other possibility is that it's a film prop or similar built on a working chassis and made road legal in similar fashion to the Judge Dredd cars. There's a sort of generic science fiction look to it. Anyone remember a film with a car like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Do like that J-reg Mk3 Cortina. We found it strangely difficult (well, impossible) to buy a pork pie in Melton Mowbray when we wanted to take one back as an edible souvenir for Master SL.

Mudster Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Thanks all. It's gloriously unusual, if a little challenging in the looks department. How Many Left website suggests 1 of 1 on the road so the chances of acquiring one are pretty minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think it was a one-off; you can see it in a few different colours on Google but I get the feeling it's the same car at different stages of production, or maybe there was a prototype or something.
