Matt Bacon Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 This is a fun day out -- an enthusiasts show with no competition and no entry cost for owners or visitors. Just people who like cool cars getting together on a Yorkshire afternoon. There's a pretty eclectic selection to be found, including some rarities... MG TF -- one of several. Nippy little stalwart of the UK scene... Less well-known outside these shores, but this Jowett, and the others here were built locally, well into the 50s. As it happens, I'm finishing one of these at the moment, so some 1:1 reference for the AM Ulster was appreciated. Needs no introduction, but a beautiful example. Classic in every way This is a rarity -- the Jensen GT And so's this: a Borgward Isabella The forgotten hot hatch - Sunbeam Lotus. Classic perfection... best, M.
Matt Bacon Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 190SL, beautifully presented... Fabulous Lancia Fulvia. If I can't have the E-type, I'll have this... Another not-so-common type: the Jensen Healey. One of a few hot rods... The Sammio Spyder, whatever that may be. The only Ferrari on the field, except it's not, of course... Great colour scheme on this Elan. 356 Super 90. Lovely and timeless... best, M.
Matt Bacon Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 POOOWWWEEEEERRRRR! MG TF Lotus Elan AM V8 240Z Pair of Jensens, 60s and 70s style Jowett Jupiter flat four: these you don't see every day... Lotus Carlton Lancia "Testa Rossa" ...and the Mustang version. best, M.

waynehulsey Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Something wonderful cars there...and good to see someone using SmugMug besides myself. Is the AM Ulster the one Nick Mason owns, or did own? Is it the Airfix 32 scale model you're working on?

We occasionally race as a team. LM16 is one of the original works cars, originally LM12 but rebuilt after LeMans for the Ulster TT where it won class and lap record, hence the name Ulster....before that they were simply MkII racers. I'd love to see a completed model of the car Edited August 22, 2017 by Paul w bad picture
waynehulsey Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Thanks, like I said I couldn't remember the number on Mason's car, too lazy to look it up. Unfortunately the model I had along with the Herb Deeks' photo etch wire wheels for it was in the stuff I had stolen a couple of years ago. Haven't been able to replace it or the wheels.The closest I know in 1/24 is an older papercraft model that I'm not sure if it is still available. http://papermau.blogspot.com/2013/03/aston-martin-turismo-paper-model-in-124.html
afx Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Nice pictures Matt - thanks for posting them. Maybe Beemax will surprise us one of these days with the rally version of the Talbot.
