Farmer matt Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 @Six97s this is the 'Cuda note the reg HEM 1 G Hopefully you are all up for a few more, last ones I promise. thats a Ronart in case you were wondering. shame the white bleached out on that one I get the idea, just not sure it works A great event, and helped by being at a proper sports social club, so a proper bar, catering and facilities. Decent live music too, rockin' rollin' and strolling. One last shot Thankyou all for your interest and comments Matt 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Wow, not seen a Shuvit for years and three come along at once. The SD1, Vanden Plas is beautiful, same year and colour as my one too. Ooooooo and a 411 too, awesome and very under rated cars. Great photos Chris 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 You don't see many (any) Maestros about these days. Can't remember the last time I saw one. My dad had the diesel van version for work back when I was a kid. it wasn't pretty, but it was reliable, which must have been unusual 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, there was a new batch about ten years ago - they'd been licensed to Romania and someone kept them going and then thought it would be an idea to re-import them. Still just about the biggest car inside for its length outside, if you get my meaning. Not that I have the slightest regard for the things. That SD1, though ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rented a white one to take a trip to my folks' caravan before it got stolen in the 1990s, as my then car wasn't capable of the journey, and it was a pretty decent drive, with plenty of poke in the 1.4L engine. I had been driving a Maxi 1750 though, so anything was an upgrade, although my shed was definitely shinier The only downside to it was a puncture we got on site, which was hardly anyone's fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neddy Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 An incredible number of really rare classics, almost too many to mention. But that Espada - ooooooh that Espada..... 🤤 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary . I had the light blue one with the push in mirrors too. By some miracle the mirrors survived and I'm pretty certain it's still somewhere at my Dad's house. Looks like a good show, but then anywhere with an Espada will be good. I do think some of those wheel choices deserve a lynching though! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
