Continuation of this thread: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Went to a classic car show on Weds last week, and was very pleased to snap a few pics of this stunner biggrin





It was the only one there, but was great to see one of these rare cars, along with loads of other fab motors.

For those that don't attend these kind of shows, they are great. Nice setting, nice people and a bit of everything on display.

Few more snaps for those interested:

Ta.

It was Classics in the Walled Garden at Luton Hoo. Only the shows 2nd year, but looks like a good following so far. All thanks to Peter Madden the event organiser.

The green Stiletto and the Alfa Giulia(?) for me please lick

I agree that the smaller shows are much more interesting. I am going off Bromley Pageant because it attracts the "less desireable" element with the funfair &c and it tends to be row upon row of MGBs and Stags (as nice as they are I would much rather see a wider variation!)

What's the black coupe with the red GTS lettering on the grill
It looks like a Chevelle but as it is RHD I guess it is a Holden Monaro from Australia

Yep it's an Aussie Holden. Got some pics of it from previous shows too.

I attend and display at a number of shows over the summer, all similar to this. The largest has about 1200 cars, while the smallest about 50 cars.

I do very much agree its the variety that makes the shows, there is just so much to see and so much of interest. smile

Sadly no, I've never had the fortune to speak to the owner. All I can tell you is it's a Rover V8 hiding away under the bonnet and that it is very, very nice and looks very well built. It's totally mint.




I've seen it a couple of times, this is it at the COTC 2008:
