Ripon Autumn Classic 2011


Mark Woodward Classic Events organise several events each year and two of them take place at Ripon Racecourse. Both the Autumn Classic (seen here) and the Spring Classic are well worth a visit and can't be recommended enough. Hope you enjoy browsing through the album. Regards PAUL

Not sure what type this is, but it was cute and seemed to enjoy having its photo taken

1938 Plymouth P6 - CAS 607

04 Sep 2011 2 4 865
One of two shots I'm adding to this set of this two-tone coupé. Oddly, I can't find it now on the DVLA records so not sure what's happened to it.

Here's the second shot of the Plymouth, this time a close-up shot of the front end. Beautiful car in every sense.

1955 Ford Popular - XFF 443

Just what everyone needs in their life, a 5-litre Ford Pop!

1957 Cadillac Sedan De Ville

04 Sep 2011 2 7 669
This beautiful 1957 Sedan De Ville must be another recent import as it was only registered here in June 2008.

1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-Up - UAS 389

04 Sep 2011 4 4 824
Yet another cool import that I'd happily give a home too!

1931 Ford Model A - XFF 507

04 Sep 2011 2 1 732
Correct me if I'm wrong on the model, I think it's an A, but I could be wrong ... as might the paint job: not sure about that scheme.

1985 Opel Manta Berlinetta - B207 WUG

04 Sep 2011 1 633
This is one of two Manta models that caught my eye at this particular show. This is a Berlinetta from 1985, but aesthetically I prefer the GT/E that was parked nearby ... well, I mean, it was red!

1986 Opel Manta GT/E - D134 ETC

04 Sep 2011 3 1 2370
This is one of two Manta models that caught my eye at this particular show. Much as I liked the Berlinetta that was parked nearby I have to admit I prefer GT/E if only because it's red!

1963 Ford Zodiac MkIII - PAG 586A

04 Sep 2011 4 2 582
The Zodiac was an upmarket version of the Zephyr 6, but differed quite considerably from it in various ways including the unique grille (four headlights instead of two), which you can see here.

Ferrari F355 Berlinetta Supercar Replica - K422 GS…

04 Sep 2011 1 757
The Ferrari F355 was built by Ferrari from May 1994 to 1999. This "look-a-like" is actually based around a 1992 Toyota MR2, which is ironic in that even in its basic form it does have a resemblance to both the Ferrari 348 and the Ferrari F355. In fact, the car was labeled by some as "The poor man's Ferrari" ... maybe they knew what was to come!

Ferrari 250 GTO Supercar Replica - VIL 8699

04 Sep 2011 3 3 1261
The Ferrari 250 GTO is a GT car which was produced by Ferrari from 1962 to 1964. They're rare, with supposedly only 36 GTOs ever built, and a 1963 example was recently sold for a cool $52million (£32m), making it at the time the most expensive car on the planet. However, like the F355 Berlinetta which also appears in this album the car is not what it appears to be. This one is actually based around a 1991 Porsche 944 S2 so maybe you could get it for slightly less than £32m. This is one of three shots of the car in the album.

VW Beetle - CAB 720 - Details Unknown

04 Sep 2011 2 7 750
Couldn't get as much information on this one as I would have likedas it's not lised with the DVLA. However, I'm tagging it as being a Fifties version due to it having the Wolfsburg emblem at the tip of the front of the bonnet. This was a complex fabrication and supposedly on subsequent models the emblem was deleted.

1957 Cadillac Sedan De Ville

Just a little detail shot of the rear of that Sedan De Ville from earlier for all you Caddy lovers out there!

1951 Rover P4 75 "Cyclops" - CEB 77

04 Sep 2011 2 3 935
Well it was obviously a Rover, but I'd not seen one quite like this before so I had to do some checking. Turns out it's a P4 75 known universally as the Cyclops because of the central lamp, a styling cue left over from the beloved postwar Rover P2 models.

1932 Ford Model B Deuce Coupe - BSL 953

04 Sep 2011 3 6 1178
A 'Deuce Coupe' for those that don't know much about hot rods is a 1932 Ford Model B Coupe - considered by many to be the definitive "hot rod" and immortalised by The Beach Boys in their classic song, "Little Deuce Coupe". The 3-window coupe is one of my all time favourite cars and the fact that this one was in red made it even more special. This is one of 9 shots I'll be uploading to this album of this particular car, such was the impression it made on me.
