A local show today, in aid of the Air Ambulance There was something for everyone here including some Autoshite interest (apologies for sun in wrong place ) :

 

Nice Viva:

 

Very early 1300 Capri:

 

Mark 2 Zephyr with A35 van in background:

 

Moggy Traveller :

 

Interior to match:

 

Foden Funhouse:

 

The secret of Skyline performance :

 

Remember, The Prisoner is back:

 

You just can't keep good Autoshite down:

 

 

More to follow this evening

[VWPowered]

viva, capri and marina are very cool

[Mash]

Blimey that Zephyr's an early one. Don't think I've ever seen one with the egg crate grille other than in period pics.

Ultra cool Oldsmobile and Consul convertible :

 

Some modern classics as well:

 

Now for the heavy stuff -

 

A bit of an autoshite favourite?

 

Ex Birmingham Aiport fire tender, it's even bigger in the metal:

 

My favourite truck of the day, a magnificent Volvo N10 :

 

Hard to believe this is a miniature:

 

Vintage Austin Seven that I could have happily picked up, put in my pocket and taken it home :

 

The site is next door to the preserved railway, so i just had to capture the loco with my favourite name :

 

Finally, a quick look round the car park before going home yielded these:

 

TR 8

That Olds looks very similar to the one we used at our wedding. Have you got another photo that shows the no plate?Capri's handbrake must be weak for him to have tied it to a pole.

I do like the DIY parking pole on the Capri. And what is the bobby moore with that Minor?Traveller with no wood?? I thought the timber was structural on those.

The number of the Olds is XSU 568 and it is a 1955 Holiday, a sort of coupe but with 4 doors (as you can see I'm not an expert on 50s Americana )The Minor looked as if the woodwork had been panelled over, no doubt on the basis that American Graffiti and Mock Tudor would not have formed a very happy marriage

I'm sure there was a Morris Minor in American Graffiti. I'll go and check.

Ah not "our" one then. Ours was four door pillarless though but may have been a '56. I can't remember what the differences are on Olds.

this one?

That's the fellow. I'll post my copy anyway since I've done the screen grab and uploaded it.
