My Classic Ford Show

[generaldogsbody]

I was there too! Really enjoyed it. Hence the reason why I felt the need to but an old car..........

Did you see the "1.3" badged Mk3 Escort that was running on the drag strip? Happened to be running a Cossie lump.

Time for some Escort pictures, probably not all of them because photo bucket, unsurprisingly, is being rubbish:




Ben Szanto's S2000 powered estate. Lovely car and a thoroughly nice bloke, happy to have a chat and told me not to be shy and open the door and have a good look. Worth pointing out that this is "just" his daily!











































Hopefully tomorrow I will do the random other stuff, but I also want to get on with the 'tina.

The BMW Diesel van was definitely my car of the show. Aside from that I found myself strangely drawn to vinyl-roofed 4dr Escort Ghias.

I wish I had got a photo of inside the back of the van. Two period bucket seats.

I am a big fan of non RS/mexico/sport Mk2's so I enjoyed them.

I was actually quite surprised with the range of stuff that was there. Its the first manufacturer specific show I've been to in about 8 years. I was expecting a lot of stuff to all look exactly the same. There seems to be a nice range of different styles emerging in the old ford scene. I'm definitely looking forward to going again.

Could it be because of those drawings in the back of the mag? It would be nice to think so. That said, the whole modified car world are taking off their blinkers thanks to the internet.

Loving these pics. Gutted I couldn't go. Incidentally, qwerty, those BBS reps were my 1st choice of wheel when I started my Tina.

Maybe whoever buys it will put them on as a reckon the gold centre ones would look ace!

I refuse to accept that you're selling it. If I deny its happening, then it musn't be happening.

Therefore get some BBS reps purchased and get them on so that you rediscover the love!
