Lovely Abarth at a show last night.

Acknowledgement Paul Woodford for the pic, he must've arrived early.
I'd best post a pic of his Clan.

I note the banner mentions East Yorkshire - what town is that? I now someone in that region who owns a Simca-Abarth.

Thanks. That makes sense - my friend lives on Humberside.

Stowmarket Tesco 21/6/22

Belongs to a mate of mine. He used to post on here as 'jamie and the magic'.

I'll let him know that he has been spotted !!

In one of the car parks in Basingstoke Hospital. Two stop watches, a period fire extinguisher and no seat belts.

That's a Challenger, hence the later gear lever and different dashboard/centre console. Externally, they are very faithful to the original E-Type design.

Rye harbour this morning.

Presumably the covering is there to accelerate the degradation?

Cool spot!

Austin Allegro

Vanden Plas 1500

Austin All Aggro...

This is the actual car that I passed my test in at the age of 17....I'm 45 now. My borrowed first car out of one of my dad's fleet!. Great to see TTO looking so good.

Stunning car tell him, though I suspect plenty will have told him already. Couldn't believe the turn out both exhibitors & public. The closed area was full, no spaces left.
Found some footage
Beauty Copper Bronze Mex @ 3:44 & a Marcos earlier. Stills after 5:50 showing more from further along the street to the other square.

It is Beverley.

I just googled Pinky's Brow Bar, so now my google feed is going to be full of nail extensions and lip filler.

Nice Abarth though.

I'm amazed. How does it not need seatbelts? Is its identity and relevant legislation tied to a donor car?

Peasmarsh, East Sussex today

Great Dixter today.

I suspect I'm out of step with general sentiment, but that looks pretty gash to me. Shabby and tired, with an under-current of undeserved 'look at me'.

It looks nasty. Are those pretend engine cooling ducts by the rear arches?

It's what people used to do to Fords 40 years ago.

M25 yesterday.



I said to my wife “Can you get a close up one as we pass?”

Yeah the two together, looked well, weather & the atmosphere were perfect.
First time I'd been though I knew of it over the years, this is the club https://eytcc.uk/events-list/ They're certainly very active running various events. Talking to someone who knows he told me this was their Premier Event, was certainly well attended.
I was somewhat mystified at the sheer popularity, it was rammed with people. Quite a good selection of Motorbikes too, very nice CBX Honda but I know little about bikes, can appreciate the quality though.

Tidy '73 M-B 280CE in New Cross yesterday evening:



Also saw (and followed in traffic) a cool, black GAZ-24 Volga and I think I saw the white Stag posted above/below on the A12 nr. Brentwood on the way to London.
