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

Okay, time to step back in time again and get another album up and running ... this time for the Ripon Autumn Classic in 2011.

1976 Triumph Stag - SAC 20R

Local to the show was this stunning Triumph Stag.

1974 Ford Escort MkI Mexico - SFF 236M

04 Sep 2011 2 6 1236
The MkI featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time: a subtle Detroit-inspired "Coke bottle" waistline and the "dogbone" shaped front grille. They became successful as a rally car, and they eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. Arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally and this gave rise to the Escort Mexico special edition road versions in honour of the rally car.

1956 Chevrolet GMC Bel Air - 157 YUB

04 Sep 2011 1 607
Supposedly made in 1956, although the plate might suggest otherwise. This 'black beauty' was only registered in march 2011 so I'm guessing it's a recent import from the States.

AC Ace - CWE 774H - Details Unknown

04 Sep 2011 4 4 650
DVLA records show this as a Bond, but it isn't one I recognise. Anyone out there able to confirm if this is correct or not? What ever it is it's one beautiful little car. Update: Now identified as an AC Ace, probably from the late Fifties ... thanks to Norm for his help!

1964 Ford Consul Capri - PEF 126

04 Sep 2011 4 4 784
The Ford Consul Capri coupé was produced by Ford of Britain between 1961 and 1964 and prior to launch was code named "Sunbird" as it took design elements from both the Ford Thunderbird and the Ford Galaxie Sunliner. However, the car eventually proved to be very expensive to produce and in the latter part of its production was running alongside the very popular Ford Cortina. Sales were disappointing and so the Consul Capri was removed from sale.

Close up shot of the gorgeous front end on that green Consul Capri.

1964 Ford Consul Capri - 532 HUA

And just because you can never have too much of a good thing, here's another Consul Capri. This one is also from 1964 and first registered on 4 February just 6 days before PEF 126.

1961 Seddon Atkinson 200 Series - PRN 413

04 Sep 2011 4 3 1751
You won't find many trucks in my photostream, but I did like this old Seddon Atkinson cab. Initially, a British company with a proud heritage, the firm went through many changes over the years before eventually being owned by IVECO who in 2002 transferred manufacturing to their factory in Madrid. Sadly, production of Seddon Atkinson trucks ceased completely in October 2006.

1956 Chevrolet GMC Bel Air - 157 YUB

Another angle on that beautiful '56 Chevy - thanks Vic!

1977 Triumph Dolomite 1500 HL - RDO 916R

04 Sep 2011 1 735
Just love these old Dolomites and what a great car to learn to drive in!

As the title says, it really is a dog's life!

1970 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 - GWJ 974J

04 Sep 2011 587
It's that Beetle again, boy does it get around!

1961 Ford Consul - 211 BXX

04 Sep 2011 2 694
Between 1951 and 1962 the Consul was the four-cylinder base model of the three-model Ford Zephyr range, comprising Consul, Zephyr and Zephyr Zodiac. This particular car, a 4-door saloon from 1961, looked in outstanding condition.

1964 Morris Minor 1000 - ETB 275B

04 Sep 2011 2 635
Slightly modified and showing a little bit of rust, this Moggie would surely fall into the daily driver category. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it.

1972 Ford Capri Mk1 3000 GXL - SGN 898L

04 Sep 2011 3 6 3214
I just love the Ford Capri, especially the Mk1 facelift model like this one with the twin headlights. If ever I was going to swap my old Scirocco for something from the Seventies or Eighties I can imagine it might be a Capri.

1976 Triumph Stag - SAC 20R

Yet another car that seems to do many of the local shows. It was nice to find it at this one sitting in a quiet corner so I could get a nice clean shot of it.
