One For Classic Car Fans.....

A close up of the bikes mounted on the Alfa above

First of three loosely themed pics of cars from Sunday's classic car run at Felixstowe
This one is Estates...

The second theme is light commercials

And finally the oddities - where most people collect & restore the upmarket/sporty/flashy variants, some just go for the mundane
Fiesta Mk1 Popular Plus

A basic 1.2 Toyota Starlet

A lowly Talbot Horizon in classic 1980's brown with brown velour interior

Rover SD1s are worth saving in the V8 & 2600 versions, but the 2.4L Turbo Diesel?

Finally I don't know how many made it, but 45 set off from Ipswich

Hmm - The C5 - I rode (is that the correct word?) one at a cycle exhibition - I'm sure I felt it lengthen 2 inches when I pedaled

The car Gareth Cheeseman should have yearned for.

It is a miracle that that Toyota hasn't been turned into a rally car, or at least been seriously modified by now. Lightweight and RWD, with room for an Opel redtop or Ford Zetec. Very popular here for a particular type of clientele here, and worth a lot of money now.

I am pleased that it hasn't all the same. I am probably odd as a lover of basic cars!

Many years ago, getting into the back seat of one of those belonging to a neighbour who gave me a lift to Sunday School every week, my foot went through the floor as it was so rusty!

A lot of them over here were turned into short oval hot rods with the Vauxhall or Ford 2L engines.
