Powderham Classic, Devon

Many many things, cars, bikes, commercials, steam stuff, fancy stuff, yank tin.......

Pictures courtesy of my daughter so play nice.

More.

Excellent. I pop along to this most years (the years when the showground isn't underwater that is...) and it's often the same old stuff every year, which is also the same old stuff at Brixham steam fair, but it looks like there's some different stuff this year. And the things I do recognise are great, e.g. the MkIII Cortina on Revolutions in the last picture that has a very tasty n/a Cosworth YB on throttle bodies under the bonnet. Lovely.

The imp club had a stand there for many years, cracking show with live music on the Saturday night and real cider tents!
Awesome pics bud, thanks for sharing.

Second year at this show for me today - took my Baja bug down, but left in in the car park (all the coolest stuff is out there )

Not exactly retro, but this was the car of the show for me - just when you think you have seen everything....







I think it's a modernish small van / pickup, with a helicopter engine on the back, and a new apache helicopter themed cab grafted on.....

Yeah, that made us laugh quite a lot too. Only wish they could've fired it up.

Some nice stuff there. One of those gentle little shows that we do so well. I particularly like the shot of Jensen bums!

And as for you daughters pics, if that had been one of mine taking them, they would all have been of hair-bands, boy-bands and anything pink, so you won't hear me complaining!

Not any more it doesn't. It now sports a 2.9 cologne V6.

Ahh, is it yours monty? Why the change, it seems a bit of a shame? I saw it a few years ago on the stand with the rather gorgeous Cosworth 24v-powered MkII Cortina and was very taken with the pair of them, a couple of interesting, different and really well-engineered cars. Sadly I've deleted the photos off my Photobucket account so I can't remember what else was on the stand, I'll have to look them up.

No, not mine. It belongs to a friend of mine and he was using it for Drag racing in the OSFDC. He doesn't do that anymore (he's in his mid/late 60's) and was looking for something more suited to everyday driving as the YB was quite high spec with most of its performance at high revs.

We were in the Old Skool Ford stand after all! Chap called Deltamal on OSF.
Still badged as a 1.3 though.
