Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Rick]

We went over to this yesterday, weather was a bit murky but rain held off for the most part. As usual, quite a variety of lorries, cars, tractors and so on. The vehicles gather in the town centre, then head out for a slow convoy around the town, and re-form in the town's main car park.

Some interesting stuff there, although I didn't much care for the CCTV van parked over the back, with cameras on poles watching proceedings. The chap in the van asked if I was interested in CCTV, and I told him I'd be quite happy for it to all be taken down again! Anyway, some pics of the show:






































Anyone else here go?

Hi

Some great pics, nice little austins! Great little minatures! Was one of those engines being pulled by a fastrac rather than being steamed?

Did you see any steam fodens?

Thanks for sharing them!

Cheers

Dave

P.S... Them trucks are rather tightly parked! While in Nantwich yesterday an artic came through the pedesrianised part, but got stuck between te brithish heart foundation shop and road works on the other side, his wheels were starting to overhang the road work hole, the other side was pulling signs off the buildings above shops!!

The little Standard ten looked tidy and for some reason I really like period Ice cream vans!

[Rick]

Yup that little Standard reminded me of how much I like 'em, now if I could just find a good Standard Companion (estate car) that'd suit me just fine (the earlier ones, without the pointy Pennant front wings)

Rick, are those minature trucks homebuilt or ?
Quarter scale?
They sure look great!

[Rick]

the 2 little trucks are based around battery-powered disabled vehicles (perhaps similar running gear to the little vehicle that pigtin advertised for sale?? although I've not looked closely at the photo). Whoever built 'em did a great job, would happily have one of those around the place
