Wasnt that big a show, but the selection was amazing. Did anyone else local go to it? Weather struggled to make its mind up, as per. I could only spend 50 minutes there as the trains were annoyingly irregular and I didnt fancy staying two extra hours. Newbury Racecourse must be the most basic station I have ever been to. Anyway heres a selection of cars present....

Very early 80s Street Machine, I liked it alot.

Posted Image

Pristine VX, owned by a very elderly couple, possible one owner.

Posted Image

Anyone know anything about this bodykit?

Posted Image

Huge.

Posted Image

Ive never seen so many Allegros together. This was one of my favourites.

Posted Image

Another spotless gem, this Ital suntor must make for brilliant holidays.

Posted Image

Brilliant time capsule Zephyr, front annoyingly obscured.

Posted Image

Slightly tatty Riva, good to see one though.

Posted Image

This is quite an early MKII, base model too.

Posted Image

I reckon this may not have the original engine.

Thats all for now!

To be fair, all the shows I've been to where the Allegro Club has been, they have put on a great display. They seem a really enthusiastic bunch and always have a great turnout!

All prefacelift Mk2 Grandads (non-Ghias or S's) had those black n' silver wheels. Trim rings wouldn't be standard though (I added a set to my 2.3L), nor is the vinyl roof.

 

I hope it's a 2.0L. Non-PAS 2-spoke steering wheel FTW!

Note Street Machine esque Escort in background, tried to get a shot but the owner was crowding round it all day, no doubt to explain it to everyone who recoiled in shock.

This is nice. Any more pics of it? I do like the E3.

 

As for the Granny, I'm sure mega-poverty spec jobs had plain wheels as opposed to the ones on that one. Looks like a GL to me. Front fogs, vinyl roof, passengers mirror. Ok, the fogs will be a later addition, but that doesn't look like an L to me.

My old 2.3L (1980 model). Same wheels (albeit with trim rings I liberated from a scrapped facelift GL), and a passenger mirror. Plus a push-button radio (P21). And PAS. Bugger all else.

 

That E3 is lovely. I have never seen it around, wonder where it hides? That white Cortina I have seen around Basingstoke.
