	That looks like my kind of show! Loads of great stuff there, cheers for sharing the pics. This Golf... ...was the subject of a month-by-month build feature in Performance VW - a sort of Berg-cup-on-a-budget thing. Ooh, and I wrote the Retro Cars feature on this! Lovely thing.

	Excellent pics, thanks for posting them. It's like wandering into a mid-80s Tesco car park. But in a good way

	Given that the Consul/Mk1 Granada came out in 1972, I'm guessing that the one on the left must be the oldest surviving GT.

	What show was this? I went to Essex Retro car show at battlesbridge last year and had a good time - had not seen it advertised this year if it was the same show? Planning on heading over on Sunday for the vw show there. Cool pics - looks a great show, annoyed I missed it!

	I don't think I have any more of the PA with slot mags, To be honest I'm not sure which car you mean so I didn't take any photos of PA's? unless you mean the A60?.

This was the first classic car show there of the year, they have a Ford day in August and another big mixed car day in September, they are always ways worth a look for the massive mixture of vehicles that go, there's always something new appearing down there.
