stevehnz Posted November 4, 2022 Share 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.

paul-muc Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 But what type is this one? I didn't find her in the books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted November 7, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neddy Posted November 7, 2022 Share 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 It superceded the Model 40 and ran from '35 to '41, I think.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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted November 7, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Listed as a 1936 Ford Roadster but running a 5700cc engine, possibly not original. Steve. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted November 8, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted November 10, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
