One For Classic Car Fans.....

Some from the show I went to today.

Audi 80. From the days before Audi discovered how to be trendy.

Merc 190E

Toyota Corolla

Porsche 928

Ford Escort RS2000

Lancia

An Auto Union, clearly 2 stroke but beyond that I know nothing about it. Interesting to see though.

Austin A30.

Some more.

Mini clubman estate and a Metro. Not just any old Metro but a Vandan Plas with wood trim, sunroof, central locking, cassette player and digital clock! I forget what other goodies the owner told me about.

Lexis LS400.

Morris pick up

Humber Hawk

Opel Rekord 1700. I can't image you'd win many traffic light grand prix with a 1700cc engine in a big tank like this.

Dolomite and Maestro, flying the Leyland flag

Triumph Stag

A trio of nice Minors.

I'll take the 928 please. Still looks better than most of the anonymous cars on the road today.

A nice 302 in it, primered grey, centreline wheels, & it's a British 'Two Lane Blacktop'!!

I got blown off the road on a long climb once by a Morris Traveller. I was driving a MKI Golf diesel, not the fastest car ever made but should easily have the legs of a Minor, especially climbing a very steep hill where diesel torque comes into play.

The Morris was stopped at a petrol station a few miles up the road so I stopped too to have a look at it and was talking to the owner. It had been fitted with a tuned Lancia twin cam, Sierra 5 speed box and the back axle from a TR7 IIRC. It was a real Q car

Pedantic note: that 'Morris pickup' is actually badged as an Austin - late commercials were, once the cars had been discontinued. Don't ask me why.
