It was certainly a "hot" show at Simply Ford Beaulieu yesterday!! Temperature was around 30c . Quite a good mix of cars from a 1960s Ford Zephyr up to new Mustangs. There were plenty of Mk1Escorts , 3 Lotus Cortina's, Capri 2.8s, RS turbo's, RS2000's etc for Classic lovers and plenty of much newer Focus RS, ST ,Fiesta ST etc. More new Mustangs this year and a few 60s models. I had plenty of people interested in my Saff and had some good chats with various people. All up considering how hot it was I thought it was a good show. Bonus for me it is only a 10 minute drive from home!!

One of my fav venues and this event always attracts a good mix of fords rather than just the pop n bang plebs

 

There were still a few pop n bang brigade there Steve, what they get out of it is beyond me!

 

sadly thats the new mongs in thing and main reason I took a step back from the ford scene in general until this craze sods off

 

Bugger I thought it was a Vauxhall weekend this weekend not ford 😭😭😭
looks like there was some nice old school stuff there. D320 ubh I sold that to the guy a few years back and he’s put a lot of time and effort into the car and it looks stunning now with the 500 bits on.

 

Good pics of mine mate she's 830bhp now on pump fuel mapped by Julian Godfrey now

 

i bet that’s a hoot to drive Dave 👍

 

Lol mate it is a handfull but fun 😄

 

I was there too, had a great day but soooooo hot!

 

Were you there with your Saff? I did see a few others. Mine was on the hardstanding central part next to 2 F100 pick up trucks.

 

Was there as well with my Saff and the blue MK4 Escort Cabby over on the grass in the sun in the individual entrant area.

was definitely warm, Mustang a couple of cars down was showing 33 deg temperature on his dash.

Some nice cars but the club stand area was very sparse and spread out.

 

Yes mate the citrine yellow one.

 

I did look at your Saff, it does stand out being such a different colour.

 

I have just had a new Centre push hydraulic clutch system fitted by Julian Godfrey and was very impressed with their work. I cannot imagine what your car must be like with all that power, my Saff is only 450bhp and to add another 380bhp to it would be mental!!!

 

The team at Godfreys are spot on very helpful and priced well

 

Top pics matey. I got took out in a 400bhp saph years ago and it was/is the quickest car uve been in.

 

The more I see the new gen Mustangs the more I like them....

 

the Roush at 750hp whats not to like

 

There were more new Mustangs at the show than I have ever seen before at previous shows. I think the fact that you can get them with right hand drive now has made a big difference to the increase in sales. When you are right up close to them they are a bigger car than I realised. A proper stonking great supercharged V8 is still hard to beat and so is that V8 exhaust note!!! No comparison to the new so called electric Mustang YUK !!

 

A friend of mine used to have one. He took me out in it one night. Foook me it flew. It would of easily beat the cossie in a straight line. It also handled well too. I was expecting the back end to step out but it was ok.

Hes sold it now and has bought a MG miget ha ha..

 

From a Mustang to an MG midget!!! That is certainly a come down but if he likes it that is all that matters!!

 

Yeh honestly ha ha ha. He used to have a miget when he first past his test so he bought another one. He also has a Escort S2 RS turbo. He has had this for years and its been it bits most of the time he has owned it.

 

hello mate , I now own it. Just wondering what you know about the history and any contact details of who you sold it to please? 👍

 

I will be there again next Month, not sure why they changed the date from May to August but hopefully be a great day out.
