That was a beautiful car and a worthy winner. I was glad the RS500 that has recently had a complete rebuild with the help of Paul linfoot did 'nt win although it looked brand new it was nice to see something very different get the top prize.

if you can ignore all the masses of new cars at a so called classic show its not bad, but numbers on what we call classics are well down as most simply storing them away for investments or too scared to bring them out Glenn

I like the newer fords but they arnt special enough for me.

I agree about people not using them. I think this is cause of the price of the cars the parts and I think people are scared in case they get damaged or parts pinched of there cars.

Cossy powered Mk2 Escort.





Nice Mk1 Escort

Thanks for posting the video, I wonder if something broke to lose traction at that speed and late in the run. Sorry to see as it was quite a heavy bump.

I was there early and I did'nt see very many on trailers. Apart from the dragsters I think most were driven to the show.

Very friendly guy, had lots of conversation with him and his partner. PJ Motorsport engine in his, bit more bhp than mine. He liked my Saff and I kept an eye on his Escos when he went for a look round and he did the same for me when I had a wander. He lives in Poole I think he said.
