stevehnz Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 Last Sunday, there was a car show/street party in Nelson in aid of the local rescue helicopter service. I was a bit late getting there & the odd one was beginning to depart, plus I got chatting to a couple of bods I know, including an ex boss with the lovely MG TA & ended up forgetting what I'd taken, but did get these, a fairly eclectic mix, it is amazing what lurks in garages around here. I'm picking the Cord & possibly several others were from the local Classic Car Museum, must get in there soon & have a shufti. I'm told, though I don't remember, that I came home from the Hospital after I was born in a Vanguard like the one above, it had been moved on by the time I could remember such things. Steve. 15 1

desert falcon Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Spotted these twins the other day. The yellow is for sale, in case anyone is interested I can ask for the price, I‘ll deliver it to you then 😉 12
Vesa Jussila Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 I would like to see my wife's face if I would drive this to home. "Darling, we have new city car" 🤣 4

Vesa Jussila Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Please no. I invested in to rust already this weekend. 1
Neddy Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 "But...but...where would I park it?" Anywhere you like! 1 3

paul-muc Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 But what type is this one? I didn't find her in the books. 2
Vesa Jussila Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 If I see correctly there is V8 sign above the grille. V8 sign looks like what was in Ford's at 30's.
Neddy Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Yup, it's a Ford Model 48, circa 1935 vintage. It superceded the Model 40 and ran from '35 to '41, I think. The precise year of this one is 1936 but it's often hard to pin down as they had a cosmetic refresh most years which changed the grille style fairly drastically each time. 3
Vesa Jussila Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 I agree with Neddy that sometimes it's difficult to pin precise year. Ford was making cars globally and sometimes models were quite a mix. You need to look for example German Fords in this period.
stevehnz Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Listed as a 1936 Ford Roadster but running a 5700cc engine, possibly not original. Steve. 2 2
Neddy Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 "Possibly"? A rather nice understated custom job though. 1
paul-muc Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Thanks a lot! The Lindberg kit of the Ford 40 Convertible (1/32) will be on my list. Edited November 7, 2022 by paul-muc typo

Vesa Jussila Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 @keefr22 You don't need to do big shopping when you have this. You have money to send someone else. 1 3
Admiral Puff Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Brave man! I wouldn't be game to park a Lambo (or anything similar) in a supermarket car park. It's an open invitation to get dinged or, worse, keyed! 1
Spiny Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Sadly I didn't get a decent shot of it as it was coming the other way along the A414, but a lovely red Aston Martin V8 Vantage, number plate starting BAV and ending in T so I'm pretty sure it was the one from Johnny English 3 and which is/was (?) owned by Rowan Atkinson. Of course there could be another one out there with similar plates and I saw another, but even if it wasn't this particular car it was still something which stood out despite a 140mph closing speed. As I have nothing but a few red pixels, here's a page of better shots. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2144086355831074&type=3 5
