Nec pics from Saturday

[Mercdan68]

Went up to the nec with my lad today
Yet another superb show
Just a few pics















































































































d




























We decided to take the old Mondeo up today
Drove absolutely faultless as it has all summer
Met a nice rover p4 at the services

My favourite car.

Thanks Dan for bringing the show home to many of us, as always, you are one of very few guys still making a real effort and rarely getting the credit fully for it.

That Salmon pink Jaguar, who went into the Jaguar dealer in the seventies and thought that was a good idea? Why do I want it so much?

Great set of pics, thanks for sharing.

P6, Granny on Azevs and that absolutely beautiful Rover 400!

The maroon XJ220 with the V12 looks interesting. Any more info on that?

A mate of mine had one in the same colour in 1990. Put it on its roof on a dual carriageway

Any info on this Mk10?

Was it the one that was used in sprints and hillclimb's (!) in the late 80's?

That Salmon pink Jaguar,

On my screen it looks more like an adhesive plaster color!

I think the colour is called Heather and was available on new Jaguars in the late 60's/ early 70's.

because it's a properly seventies colour and will always look better than something like the dead pigeon grey or dull flat white that are modern equivalents and common on current Audis.

Sorry no more info on the Jaguar other than it was for sale with m25 classics

Sorry no other than it was drop dead gorgeous 😁

The pink Jag looks like it's been painted with the old metal primer that was available in the 60s.

The 'plastic wood' Cortina in two tone green looks smart.

Excellent pics

Found the XJ220. Looks like it’s been around for a while!

I thought that. So much quality and variety. So had another scroll and one stood out to me just for the way it sits

It is a great day out, with quality cars. However, I have been lots of times & with the exception of about (maybe) 10 cars, it’s exactly the same cars each year.
12 month sounds like a long time, but from one year to another it started to get a bit Groundhog Day, so I gave it a miss, even though I had a free ticket.
Give it a few yrs & maybe go back
