Soundwave Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I did a similar thread to this last year, and it seemed to go down quite well. So I thought I'd do it again this year. Basically, there's two Midlands shows near me that always occur on consecutive weekends - The Hinckley BID Motor Show and the Atherstone Heritage Motor Show. I attended both, and focused on taking pictures of stuff that might suit an AS audience - although a few popular classics are in the mix too. Anyway, enough waffle... let's start with Hinckley.

Soundwave Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 And the last of the Hinckley pics... didn't take that many as I always used to find I'd spend the whole day taking photos and not actually see anything myself.

Soundwave Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 And onto Atherstone, which happened today after being shifted from two weeks ago, when it got cancelled due to that lady off the stamps dying.

Soundwave Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 There's considerably more pics of this show than the other one, despite it being smaller. Higher shite content I guess!

Asimo Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The green Commer estate/shooting brake is delightful. Never seen one of those before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be a former hearse? It's possibly a Malta or Gibraltar import or somewhere like that. As you say amazing thing. The stying of Rootes commercials in that era was spot-on!

sierraman Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Looks a good show that, by looks of it all chod, none of these in a 2009 Focus that insist on turning up to show it. Like the renner 18 especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort1977 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Peugeot 505 is interesting, was it a genuine Dangel? Don't recall them having those flares but looks to be genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogee Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 With these Chevettes you're spoiling us, Ambassador. Wot no Saab 9000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMort Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Well well well, I was also at this show helping out the radio station. Had a wonder about but sadly didn’t get much of an opportunity to pap anything, so I’m glad you did! Incidentally I had a go in that Sinclair C5. It didn’t have the motor in it but it was incredibly well geared - great fun too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saab's looking extra shabby at the moment, I've taken the comedy rear decor panel off to give it a proper going over. So now all the old mastic and broken clips from years of running repairs to it are visible on the boot lid... so I decided against putting it on show! grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muniphobia Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I think it's the mind charity shop in Hinckley that the blue Montego is parked outside that the till area is made from a rough looking brush painted mini, been a few years since I last went so I'm not sure if it's still there?
