A good show this one. Got a few bargains from the Autojumble too. Already looking forward to the September show Smile













































































This was Morris Minor based I think.











This was a lovely little thing.

































A few more...































The curse of the rally boards strikes again (why do people put these in front of their cars?)


































This Big Seven in the autojumble had already sold at £1450 when I got there, it had all its original interior and paintwork and probably could have been recommissioned very easily.

Thanks for posting the pics Richard, nice to see what was really there as I missed it this year. I tried looking at the pics on the EC website, but they only show the Capri's and Cortina's not surprisingly!!

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,

It's a shame you weren't there as it was a very good show. I avoided taking pictures of all the 1970's and 1980's Fords as they aren't really my thing. There were also a lot of MG's, Triumphs and flashy 1960's American cars which I didn't get pictures of. But if I had, I never would have got round it all as there was so much there!

Most of the club stand area was Ford as well.

Ironhead, there were a disappointing amount of Vauxhalls there, that 101 VX 4/90 was one of the nicest and the only Victor in attendance. There was also a very nice PA Cresta but it turned up late and I don't think I managed to get a picture of it.

Cheers, Richard Smile

Next one is end of September mate, the Grand Motorbilia show. You can book in advance for free off the main Battlesbridge website! It is a good show, but getting busy these days.
