Went along to Wyke Down near Andover today for the Easter Monday Classic Car Show and thought you might like to see some pics (just a small sample of what was there)

Ford ‘Z’ cars –
Mk1 (actually a Consul)

Mk 2

And Mk3

Humber Sceptre – a bit like mine but without the v8 . . .

Would like to pretend being Simon Templar in one of these . . .

A giant of a Jag . . .

P6 V8 . . .

Volvo Amazon . . .

Not keen on Beetles, but this looked good. . .

Vauxhall Cresta PA . . .

. . . and another but with a V8 under the bonnet – it ‘burbled’ . . .

There’ll always be a red MGB at any classic car show . . .

I’ll have one of these, but in white please . . .

More in my price range – tidy Herald

FC Victors are rare these days – even more so in estate form . . .

Minnie the Minx . . .

Ford 100e – any colour you like so long as it’s (matt) black!

Triumph Spitfire – quite like mine in fact . . .

Pop hot rod . . .

Time for a commercial break . . .

Wingless Beetle, so presumably it can’t fly . . .

There are engines, there are big engines, and then there are bigger engines . . .

Mustang Sally . . .

Chevy Camaro . . .

A very nice Plymouth . . .

Yank Ford Truck . . .

Flammin’ ‘eck . . .

And some more Yanks . . .




and as a tailpiece . . . tasty early Ford Capri . . .

Mmm the P6 V8 looks like it is not the common P6 V8 but one of the 2052 3500S Autos that all the production ones were LHD with most destined for the North American market.

This model had door pockets and on the front is a rectangular Icelert (which was an option on UK models but hardly ever specified. A light on the dash flashed when temperatures dropped and flashed faster as it got nearer to 0 centigrade.

Showcased a lot of features that would appear on later models.

Some nice cars there,thanks for posting those up.I learnt to drive in a two tone MK2 Zodiac like that,then my Dad bought a Rover 2000,then a TC2000,then best of all...a brand new 3500s in Monza Red,Black vinyl roof,Koni shocks all round,Moto Lita steering wheel,Ice Alert,Leather interior..a superb car.Just before he suddenly passed away,he was talked into part exchanging it by a ruthless salesman for a ......Chrysler 180 if he had still had it I would be driving it to-day.

I know Zeb, you've told me before and like I said last time, even though it happened just up the road from I used to live in Bitterne, IT WASN'T ME !!
