Windy37 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It’s amazing how many grey Fergies are still around and used . My neighbour has 3 in his garage now , but has done up several in the last few years . The classic tractor scene is huge covering all eras , which for me coming from a farming family is great .

malpaso Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 More observations from this weekend on top of the fergies: big Healey - red over cream 2 dark blue Mk5 Cortinas beigey yellow early XJS Russet (poo) MGB roadster red TR3A White Shelby GT500S, 20teens type but not the latest i guess this haul reflects the late sunny weather, I expect spots will become less frequent as the dark and weather close in for the year… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were three or four there today they all looked great but this one was by far the nicest. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the panel gap between the door and the front wing of the Mk1 Escort is a bit shonky. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front wing's been replaced, I think. It seems to be a lighter shade than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedjohn Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Saw a collection of movie prop cars from FVF movie at our local street fair in Thousand Oaks, CA today. I got gipped out of attending a Father’s Day car show a few months ago for medical reasons so this was a nice consolation prize, there were a bunch of other nice cars I’ll post as well. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from not having a black bonnet, the Min looks almost the same colours as ours, that red looking very similar. On ours incidentally, the previous owner resprayed it in RAL3003 - would have been more appropriate on a VW I'd have thought....!! 🤣) Keith Edit -sorry Chris I appear to have quoted your pic from Gary's reply....!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries Keith, Ruby Red yes a lovely shade, my mate has a cracking , ratty 1962 bug in that colour, looks great all lowered but he is changing to more of a Rally style now. I saw the Mini and thought of you. There was a black Mk2 Escort van there today, no pics as there were too many to get round in the time we had today, but he followed us out and when he got the chance overtook, and this thing flew past us with phenomenal acceleration, curious when engine it had, looked good with flared arches and chromed mini lites.

stevehnz Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks @nearsightedjohn for those, a very eclectic line up with some cool metal on display. I like the lines of the Cougar, 4th last, but what the heck is that behemoth in the last photo? 😲 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a view from the rear, maybe someone here knows something about it? I suspect it’s a custom of some type commissioned by one of those dudes with WAY TOO MUCH $$$$! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 A red Rolls Royce 20 4 door convertible, which looked to have broken down, accompanied by a green Morris Cowley Bullnose 4 door, also with the top down. Sunday before last, a Mk 1 (Bullit) Mustang fastback in metallic red. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klubman01 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Around 11 this morning I saw a yellow supercar (McLaren 570S, I think) turning into a residential area of town. I only caught a brief glimpse, so I'm not 100% sure what I was. It certainly looked out of place in Sleaford, though! Trevor 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
