Trig's Show Photos - Ipswich Aviation Museum show 16/10

The Audi seems to be a Sport. Not sure about the aftermarket wheels though.

A plate is too early for a Sport.Its probably one of thesehttp://www.dialynx.co.uk/conversions.htm

That one still has the correct black wheel trims found on the early cars ( they only lasted til March '77) and hopefully still the black rear panel between the lights.

It would also have had a little square Leyland badge at the bottom of each front wing...but finding one with that still intact would be akin to finding a fried Mars bar in Gillian McKieths wee gob!

Correct, This one also looks like it has a Union Jack flag on the wings.

 

 

Sorry Pete, I never got a photos of the RS2000, God knows why as i like them.

I can personally couch for the utter lunacy that is a Hillclimb spec dialynx on high octane race fuel on London roads. One of those memories that will always stay with me.

 

Me nearest camera (it is LHD). Note carbon/kevlar roof skin.

i took this ohh about 7 years ago

[boobydoo]

 

 

.

VERY nice.

 

I did a little check. Car was first registered 10th December 1976.

Chassis No: ACG 3401 This denotes a 1976 model year car, production ending October 1976 with chassis number ACG4688. 1977 model year starts with chassis ACG 10001

 

The little Leyland badge was deleted for '77 model year so this car would deffo have had them originally.

 

Colour was called New White and all early cars had black cord trim.

 

P.S I like TR7s almost as much as Talbots

[In The Pit]

 

I'm in love with the green MKII Escort, (If you have any others pictures of this car id love to see them, cheers.)

I only have these one's that i took last year of it.

 

 

Thanks for adding these, they are the ones I saw on Flickr (I used one as a wallpaper on my desktop for a while), do you know anything about the Escort? or did you see the owner? was it a nice old chap or did he look like a minilite yearning Roger Clarke wannabe with a boot spoiler in one hand and hammer and nails in the other?

On Sunday i went to the ccar show at Battlesbridge Antiques Centre near Southend, It was a bit of a damp, overcast day and a lot of the cars started living at 12.30 when i got there which was a shame.

 

And for some reason all my photos seem slightly blurry and dark, Still haven't got to grips with this new camera.

AC Invacar is proper autoshite motoring!

 

 

 

For Wat

 

 

 

I wouldn't be seen dead in this.

 

 

 

 

Very rare 2.8i Injection Sport Estate.

 

 

 

 

 

Class

 

 

Fast plastic pig

One for you Jap lovers.

 

 

 

 

This was great, It even had Top of the pops 1977 cassette in the 8-Track.

 

 

 

 

 

This Escort looks spot on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same DAF love.

Top pictures mate. Small world on the Amazon front - I know who that 80 Grey one belongs to. Other than the sunroof it's pretty much identical in spec to mine. Except the bumpers are nice. And his has wheel covers, which I'm not keen on.He's called Derek and he's a VOC member. Top bloke by all accounts, he has several Amazons.

I think this might have been car of the show for me, It's totally original, only done 44000 miles and never welded or sprayed, It was for sale, The chap wanted £3795 for it i think which i didn't think was too bad.

 

 

 

I nearly bought this very car last year, I went home to think about and it sold overnight, I was gutted but at least it's still cared for, It was only £800 as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This could be the cleanest Metro you all ever set you eyes on, It was mint.

 

 

 

 

 

USA Spec Mk 2 Cortina.

 

 

 

 

This 2000E looked quite sexual in the RS bodykit.

 

 

 

Very clean 1850 HL.

 

 

This looked like fun.

[trigger]

 

 

 

 

Never seen a MK 1 Pick Up before but me likey!

 

 

 

This was for sale for £3250, Very nice also.

 

 

 

 

The ST24 wheels looked nice but can you fit FWD wheels on a RWD?.

 

 

Cortina 1.6 Huntsman

 

 

 

 

 

And if you think this is bad...

 

 

 

MY EYES!!!!!

 

 

 

[trigger]

 

Nice van for Pog

 

 

I don't think this chap was very impressed with me taking photos of his P100.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Maxi has been family ownered from new, Only 35000 miles and never welded, It was tidy, Shame about the boards on the front really.

 

 

WTF!

 

 

UK DS.

 

 

 

 

[trigger]

And now some car park shite.

 

 

 

 

This 1955 Citoren looks nice until you see the VW Beetle rear lights.

 

 

This tidy 520i was for sale at £500

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The end.

[michiel]

Excellent shots (comments on flickr)!

[Skoze]

Drove past there just as the last of 'em were leaving, gutted i didn't know anything about it now! Nice pics though

[boobydoo]

I'm sorry, but having your registration number etched on a little picnic table is borderline cretinous.....and I thought I was sad.........

[barrett]

Excellent shots (comments on flickr)!

what he said. too many amazing cars to process...

[Angrydicky]

Great pics! I just wish I could have been there.

[trigger]

 

I never saw the Rover 800 Hearse in the back ground of this photo, Bugger!.

 

There was also two cars stolen from the show that day, My wife said she heard people talking to the police about something being stolen, Turned out it was a 1969 Rover 9XD (?) though the photos show a P5B Coupe, and a Triumph TR5, All stolen from the car park, How shitty is that.

[Parky]

I'm not that far from Battlesbridge. Gah, i would have gone if I'd known that was on.Is there any way we could get a list of upcoming shows added as a sticky? Some sort of calendar option somewhere?

[trigger]

This might help Parky.

Nice one Trigger, I forgot about that thread. There's some half decent looking events coming up!

[Gompo]

Great pics and cars, not sure on my favourite but that black Consul Capri thing is ace.Cheers.

[brammy777]

As I said on some of these on flickr, great shots. I wish there had been that many Granadas at the show I went to! Shame about the cars being stolen, perhaps specific targets considering what else was parked there.

[RichL]

Excellent photos. Couple of great shows there. Sapphire Cosworth is a stunner, good to know that some still exist in that condition

[andrewp]

Superb photos and cars, it looks well worth a trip up from Sussex next year.

Details of cars that were "lifted" on the Monday, a Rover P5 3.5 coupe (seen in your pic of the orange Sunny) and the Triumph TR5 are in this link.

[seth]

Only just looked through these. Fab set of pictures TWO Panhard CTs!

[trigger]

I wasn't sure if that was the one or not as it said it was a 1969 model and that one i took was a 1971 but the papers did get the model wrong by calling it a 9XD and it's the right colours.

 

The other car was this TR5, Reg number MOE 954F

 

 

Battlesbridge is on again in September, It's normally a bit better then as well as it's one of the last of the year and it's warmer.

Excellent, I will be there!

Some excellent cars there Trig. I really do want an Orion 1600E now.Highlight for me is the Affordable man's very early 2-dr Cortina GXL especially since it is a local car for me almost certainly supplied by Crystal in Hull. One of the first sold round here no doubt.
