Hi vxkev,thanks for getting back to us.Reason I asked was that we are moving back down to kent next year & we have our eyes set on the New Romney/Dungeness area.Is there many classics down that way?I have a grp V8 British classic,be nice to know thee are a few like minded people down that way.What have you got?The vx could be a vx 4/90,nice cars if you can find one!My old motor is in lots of bits at present,just taken the dash out - pig of a job.

We are up in NE Scotland at present - been here 8 years now - time to come back home.Funny enough I buy Classic Car Weekly every week and the meet you mentioned is in there too.
Cheers from Tony.

Hi Tony the vx at the moment is a 3.2 omega but will shortly be upgraded to a Monaro of some kind. I do have a Mk1 Escort in my garage though but it needs some time to get it road worthy, There are quite a few people on the Marsh that have some sort of classic or collectable car it was a good turn out for the first meet around 30 cars, hopefully it will get bigger as the word gets around.

Hi vxkev,nothing wrong with an Omega unless it was a police car you were in the back!The Monaro is a great car with an excellent sounding engine,how long you had the Escort Mk1?Is it a two door with round lights - my favourites.Glad to know there are a few car nuts on the marsh,hoping to be down by next year.Here is a pic of my motor,I bought it as an unfinished project for a good price but it had loads missing.

Cheers from Tony.

Hi I have had it for years yes its a 2 door it has a 1700 x-flow engine and uprated brakes from a mk2 1600 sport

Sounds nice Kev,price of good Escorts has shot up.I`d still like a P5 Coupe but with a manual `box,my mate runs a drag car P5 with a Ford V8 in,nice & quick.
Hope to meet you next year when we move down.
Cheers from Tony.

Hi Kev,sorry for delay but been away to Cheshire - someones got to go there!Yeah the Rover P5 is a lovely car,I reckon the V8 made it.Aiming for next year so hoping to see you then.
Cheers Tony.
