Hot Hot Hot! Zero shade and a fairly bleak long and thin tarmac'd show area made for a pretty wearysome day. A pretty good mix of vehicles in attendance though and plenty to pique the scatter's interest.
There was a large selection of Renault 5 GTis/Turbos with this 19 and a 21 keeping them company.
This Auto Union is just wonderful. UK plate on the back looks suitably old so it may even be an original UK vehicle? Its RHD but then its the sort of delivery van that might have been RHD even in the home market. I couldn't tell for sure but am still pondering that its original running gear has made way for a complete VW floorpan.
A varied selection of De Tomasos. When I say varied I mean mostly Panteras but also a Deauville and a Mangusta.
The Mangusta looks like a proper old concept car that might have only existed in the mind of a Matchbox model designer.
I mused that just a few years ago these Volvos had no desirability to anyone whatsoever.
Chequered Triumph
OMG RWD DRIFT Yo!
I think I've seen this 17 before. Certainly looked familiar.
The rozzers!
Not sure why but this Range Rover was parked in amongst the Rat-Luk club guys.
Back to the Renaults again.
An excellent looking workhorse.
Tiny cars.
It was acceptable in the Nineties. Oh hang on. No it wasn't. I don't think this sort of thing ever was.
The PB Cresta estate I saw at the Ace last month. Fairly sure I know the family who own it.
HARD
Because bready.
Over on the other side of the strip was some non club/show and shine retro parking, a reasonable percentage of which was taken up by this one car.
Unmolested.
Spot on Bedford.
Loved the simple way this Minor looked.
This Fiat/Lada was with the Practical Performace Mag guys. It was truly stunning.
Van YKT
JU!
Simcas were well represented including this beautiful little coupe. No 1301/1501s though.
Dunno if this was a static exhibit.
Really Loud in the house. And Spotted Laurel. Nice to wonder around with those chaps a while even if I did have to let them go and look at a Cherry on their own.
And finally not a Mini. Well, it is a Mini but...
So did you spot the vehicle with the Les Leston steering wheel? Here it is!
