MOTO-SCAT

Right, so I'm a bit peeved with Photobucket as my photos are all jumbled up making this a more difficult task than it should be. So rather than stick up a normal kind of show thread here's several shots of a few of the highlight cars.

I had been taking photos of many of the cars as they came in so after a while doing that I walked up the spectator banking on the main straight to get a general view. Hang on a minute, that Lotus looks familiar.

I have probably mentioned it or posted photos of it on here before. It is owned by an old college friend of my dad's but I've never actually got a chance of seeing it properly up close before.

He's owned it since around 1967.

Prototype version of anti down the neck draught excluder for his wife.

Was nice to be able to catch up with him again.

NSU Prinz was a cute surprise. The photos certainly got the Female Excitement Quotient (or 'FEQ') pretty high once I got back home.

This looked stunning as it drove in.

I made a point of hunting it down later on. POINTY.

This pair of Facels were I think owned by one family.

Right, that'll do for now. More later/tomorrow I expect.

Oh go on then. I'll treat you to some more. In no particular order obviously. I realise it won't really bother you but I do normally like to post stuff up in chronological order, as it happened, so to speak. Helps nudge my memory for details that might not be there in the photo.

Normally this gravelly area gets used for interesting/expensive cars or those with grumpy owners that might not quite make the cut for the theme. This time it was rammed full of pukka old chod.

Oxford made me laugh for its interior detailing.

While on Farinas...

Latin heaven.

Marina some how made the cut. I think the owner was the only person I later saw polishing their car.

SQUINTY

Ooh, Lowlight Tourer. Top of the Minor money tree I'd guess?

Insert normal reference here>

SPC was way out by the airfield.

Triumph Chairman Ltd Edition.

BMC Luxo Barges made a nice pair.

Normal Farina ownership demogrpahic. Well, its either that or the rigger boots.

Jazz hands.

French entrance was missing a Simca

HA HA. Stop laughing. It wasn't funny.

All teh Mirrorz. (and the odd LED lights)

This was a proper job. Very cool indeed.

Exactly how I'd like one.

Look out! Best Sixties cars coming!

I felt sorry for the owner of this who was quizzed as to whether it was a tax free one.

This must now be worth at least one million pounds now after that US auction.

I don't care what you think, this is a cool car and no mistake.

Best angle for this early Alpine. That line is just straight from half way along the front wing to the tip of the fin.

This was the most unhappy looking car I saw all morning. I nearly cried.

This P1800 has quite boring wheels and was also driven frustatingly slowly up the A283 on the way home. So much so that the MG Magnette (proper not Farina) in front of me got fed up and overtook, followed a couple of miles later by me. Hopefully we made the point to the large convoy of bikes behind me that not all old car owners pussy foot around.

Right, that wasn't so bad. I'll end on this Topolino.

There's 235 photos altogether if you want to go and browse through them.
