Flitwick Classic Car Show next weekend...

https://www.flitwickcarshow.com

I'll be there in the C70 flying the Volvo flag.

That gives me an idea for a bike ride...

No photos but what a lot of vintage / classics out yesterday, a meet or show locally perhaps, everything from a V12 E Type, to (probably) a 50s American pickup, a few American muscle cars, a Sunbeam Alpine convertible, Mk1 Ford Granada, Mk 4/5 Cortinas, more than i can remember tbh.

What a lovely day for them to tour around

From a week or so back. We went to Prescott hill climb for the vintage sports car club day. Competing were various classes of pre war cars from road going Austin 7 sevens to Lagondas and Bugattis. Classes were engine size related, supercharged or otherwise, specials, racing cars proper and even an Edwardian class.

To get started here are some of the "ordinary" visitors' cars in the public car park

This one a modern morgan 3 wheeler, though to my taste less appealing than their prior (but still modern) V twin one

This too is a modern, likely Jag based, replica of a 30s racer

Spotted this rather nice Jaguar XK120 coupe while walking the hound yesterday.

Some Bugattis from our day in Prescott. These all competed I think

 

[Gunk]

Spotted this lovely old thing in Chipping Norton this morning

Also witnessed the JD Vance motorcade, crazy!

 

[Profpointy]

Yet more Prescott snaps, this time racing cars proper. Loved the supercharged models

Fabby! And did you stop to browse at Simon Lewis Transport Books?

Still catching up with the event footage on the Tube of You.

I've driven up Prescott in a Peugeot 107. Managed a better time than a few of the 205GTi's that also ran.

A workmate from when I lived in Cheltenham claimed that back in the day the local lads, him included, would take their cars up and have a go on the sly mid week when no-one was there
