Pictures of your Classic in Action

[Ian_H]

Not quite as old or as classic as some of the previous cars but here is my 18 year old Ex Japanese 50th Anniversary Defender

Out doing some gentle green lanes


And raising money for The Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team leading the Kielder 4x4 Safari around Kielder Forest.

Pictures like that always make me want to buy a Defender.

Like the subtle number plate too

OOI what anniversary is that?

[Ian_H]

1998 was fifty years since the Series 1 was launched in 1948.

It had spent most of its life in Japan and only came back to the UK in 2014 so it is in rather good condition.

Not mine and what a gem. 1200 kgs (a Nord is 1100) of V6 Busso fun. Great set up car and a GT cruiser really. Flowing roads are a match for a high speed stint. No PAS so hard work on roundabouts and 2nd gear corners. Comes alive above 3.5k and really kicks in above 5: what a sound!

These are lovely, I had one as a company car for a while back in the early 80s

My 1972 Mk1 Escort RS1600 BDA out for a run. That engine, that noise. Still gives me goosebumps.

Jaguar E-type: fantastic colour. Is that Huntingdon?

Jaguar XK120: what a lovely car that is.

BDA Escort: just glorious!

Some lovely cars, but not many of them are "in action".

Crikey - an Alfa six!

My grandfather bought one of the early Landrovers, one of the first cars exported to Africa. He loved them and bought a second 4 door one when they were available - a car he kept for many years, gradually modifying it to his preferred specification. I have photos of them somewhere 'in action', but not at the time classics!
