I have a 1982 Mk1 Fiesta 1.3 GL which i only use for shows (i attended about 14 shows last year) & drove to each of them.The car is currently in having a few minor paint jobs done,having wheel arches re-painted in body colour,undersealed,suspension parts re-painted in original colours.My question is i would like to start entering it into Concours shows as once all the work is complete the car will be 100% mint,it's original & un-touched in all other ways.How would i go about entering?.
Any help would be great.

 

Hi mate,
Sounds like a nice car.
I run the concourse event on the day at ford fair.
So why not have a look at the ford fair website and read my
guiide about getting started in concourse or pm me.
I,ll be happy to offer advice/help.

You need a frontal labotomy first so you can become totally obsessed to detail

failing that a history of suffering from OCD helps.......

 

Thanks for the advice & the FordFair link.The novice class sounds like the best option being new to it.Doe's the car need to have original paint as i have had some recent paintworrk done?.

Here's link to my pics for those who have not seen it.

Don't knock it !

 

I can sometimes be quite fussy,always wipe it down at shows as it gets dusty .Just think it would nice to win some awards with it as i'd like to think it's a good enough car,just need to get along to the bigger shows as apposed to local ones that i did last year.

 

Wasn't knocking you fella, if the car is that good then get out there and get showing ! Everyone has a soft spot for the Mk1 Fiesta's, me included !

 

No affence taken bud im the first to admit im always cleaning it lol.I thought that alot of the Concours car's have to correct in all areas,eg-original spec tyres,correct stickers etc.

 

Love to see some pics, got any you can post up ?

 

Yes heres the link to a previous thread.

Paint doesn't matter mate.... Think I'm doing beginners at fordfair.

 

Beginners??????
No such class mate/ its called novice,and its a shame
after all the work your having done that the underside ISNT judged
in that class.
I,ve seen your car, maybe you should look at standard??
kev

 

Oh bugger..lol...the cars not sandard now mate...ive added a T34 and all new tanks and hoses...Modified maybe..??

 

awkward one mate.............
Novice is engine bay;exterior/interior/wheels/tyres
Have a go

 

What about working class because it still gets used and abused...?

 

build up to it slowly matt

 

It gets used my friend every dry day....

 

there a a few people on www.fiesta-mk1.co.uk that enter there cars into concourse , so may be worth an ask on there
