Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

There was a big turn out at this annual event held at Helmingham Hall in Suffolk on 5th Aug 2012. There are several aspects to this show - large club stands, individual (and very varied) entries and the "concourse" drive. The latter is actually open to anyone that applies in time and is a chance to run your car up and down the main drive to the hall. This gives a great opportunity to see some of the cars in motion rather than just as static displays.

Difficult to pick out specific highlights but there were some nice Bristols on display

Here are a selection of pictures from the event :

Hi
The red Bristol is a 405 ( the only 4 door model), reg No might have given it away.
You did well for Bristols that day.
As well as the green 401, there is a cream or ivory one, also a Black or V dark blue 400, a red 410 and a green 411s1

Drat ! Knew I'd get at least one of the identities wrong ! I think I've got the other ones more or less correct. Didn't know the 411 was an S1.

It certainly was a good day for Bristols - and very nice they looked

Wish I could afford a Healey 3000. That car is stunning. Good photos.
