Austin/Morris day at Brooklands 07/03

[brammy777]

Well Ill have to do this in seperated parts, as flickr is being difficult and I cant be bothered to upload all 50 odd pics at once haha.

There was alot of Farinas there, which is a nice thing indeed. Sadly most were impossible to picture due to the damn sun!

These cars just seem to go on and on......in length. I dont think Ive ever seen one before, so it was nice to see one finally. This was the better of the two there.

Nice and original, although I dont know if it was a Taxi way back then. This is an A55 right?

Also a hell of alot of the ADO16s there, you would have liked it Keef!

This was really nice as well, isnt it funny how colours on old cars look so much better than they ever could on newer ones?

Weirdly, I only saw 3 Allegros there. Bit weird, but thats 3 more than the amount of Marinas there....

This is no doubt one of those Ledbury kits, registered as an Austin though.

Nice and tidy Metro, see alot of G plate ones it has to be said.

Beige Maestro, what a win. Spotless.

Mega early Maestro, there cant be more than 10 on a Y plate left, surely.

And my star car so far.....

 

Coming up later, some Princess and Maxi action, plus some mouldy old Lorries.

Wow a W reg Metro and a Y reg Maestro! Looks like a good day out!

[Cavcraft]

Top work, any more Austin 3-litre pics please?

[keef]

Also a hell of alot of the ADO16s there, you would have liked it Keef!

Was going to leave you invites for these and the 3 Litre, but can't find Brammy777 on Flickr.

[brammy777]

Sorry Cavette, the other one was one of those which sadly couldnt be pictured as it was so sunny.

Weirdly, there was no Montegos. Think I saw Angry Dicky but Im not sure!

Cheers.Invites left.I'll add you to my contacts.

[brammy777]

Have some more:

Nice Princess, this was one of two there.

This must be a really late Maxi with chrome bumpers, or they just put them on. It doesnt come up as a Maxi 2 so hopefully that means it isnt.

I love the quad headlamped versions, colour suits it as well.

This must be an exhibit of the museums, being a Bedford and all.

Neat Ital van, sadly the only Ital there. I was hoping one would show up but alas not.

My favourite ice cream vans. Dont really see an CFs round here so it was nice to see this.

 

More later.

[keef]

Looks like this lot are from today as well. :-

Defo, it looks class, i'd love to take my camera and phtograph some of the visitors, and a couple of cars maybe.

[brammy777]

Ha, I was listening to music so didnt really notice anyone!

I think this is still used, I bet it has some massive engine in it.

Autoshite bus, without a doubt.

And some Plane shite, sad to see one like this but they do have another VC-10. Stupid phone camera means I have to stand about a million miles away from planes to get the wings in but this one had been put here with me in mind.

[STUNO]

Autoshite bus, without a doubt.

 

Is this the fabled non-stop express bus!

[155V6]

Nice pictures,wouldn't have minded going but went to an Autojumble instead.Love the A60 with wide steelies

[brammy777]

Lorry time.

Ex-Lufthansa, not run since 1997. The canteen body is still so shiny.

What model is this? Made in Basingstoke

Not taxed since 1995, shame as genuine Cargos are rare.

Another old refueller, theres alot more of these to come.....

[Angrydicky]

Think I saw Angry Dicky but Im not sure!

You should have come over! I was there, only just got back in fact

A super selection!I would like to attend this event. I bet it is rammed full of proper wierdos.

[brammy777]

Ah sorry I forgot to take one, I had been planning to but forgot. Did any Marinas or Montegos show up in the end?

[Angrydicky]

No Marinas or Montegos as far as I saw, there were at least two Allegros, Maxi, Metros, Maestros but no Ambassadors either. Oh and the Ital van - nice The two Austin 3 Litres made my day

[keef]

The two Austin 3 Litres made my day

You not take any pics Dicky?

[Angrydicky]

A few, but I forgot my camera and only had my phone to take pictures on :(To be honest I didn't take that many. There was a lot to see at this place.

Autoshite bus, without a doubt.

 

Is this the fabled non-stop express bus!

I didn't think many buses could stump me, I can only guess from the wheels, 'dinner plates' and drivers instrument set up that this is based on some kind of AEC platform?

[brammy777]

Well done Hammy, thats it. Its an AEC Swift Sparshatt. I cant imagine too many of these survive. Bonus points if you can guess the one in the background...

[254575]

Wow a W reg Metro and a Y reg Maestro! Looks like a good day out!

Y reg maestro is mine!

[brammy777]

Its proper nice! Is there a story behind it?

[Angrydicky]

Well done Hammy, thats it. Its an AEC Swift Sparshatt. I cant imagine too many of these survive. Bonus points if you can guess the one in the background...

Was that the one in BOAC livery? I think I remember the make
