Classic shows

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Great pics though - it looks to have been an excellent show.

Whilst the Bellybutton Midget and Riviera (especially) are very worthy I spot two others I'd have had a good trawl over - a Jupiter red Cortina IV and a very early Golf in Saturn yellow. Hopefully it hasn't been Dubbed to fuck and remains standard.

Little local show in Sanquhar last weekend. Not a bad turnout given the rain but a fair bit of modern wank I wouldn't have let in,including a brand new Ford of some sort. I got there late and wound up in the end of a dubdick row..

Some nice stuff there. Is the early A99 Westminster yours?

[slowanimals]

Yes it is. I even broke out the Autosol to make absolutely certain it would rain on the day.

Shame how these long-term ownership cars end up with age-related plates, too. The Rev. has taken my favourites so I will have to have the miserable Ensign and hope it is late enough to have the TR3A engine in it.

Could that be more down to the fact the cars get stored for years and pre-70s in a garage/barn?
Owner dies and family have a clear out. Except they can't find the V5. Thus DVLA register under a new plate.

I don’t think so, it’s usually just greed and/or sentimentality. A lot of people want to keep grandads plate to put on their modern, if they have no interest in taking on a classic.
Whichever way, it’s still a shame when it happens.

Lovely. Farina grey over Clarendon grey perchance?

Going to be a lot harder now they require an MOT.

[angrydicky]

I thought there was a loophole in the regs that allowed them to transfer registrations without an mot as long as the car was taxed.
The amount of old barn find type cars coming up on eBay with brand new “XS” plates would tend to suggest there is a way of doing it.
Failing that, bent mots aren’t hard to come by.

Delightful selection there Mr Impala - particularly the shoebox Ute and my favourite cab, the FX3.
