Newby Hall Classic Car Show 2013
Held every year at Newby Hall on the outskirts of Ripon, North Yorkshire, and organised by NECPWA (North of England Classic and Pre War Automobile Club) this is a show I only discovered in the last couple of years.
On their website NECPWA describe their annual rally as "the largest Classic Car Show in the North of England with 1,500+ cars on display from all era's". Now as I don't go around count… (read more)

1949 Daimler DB18 - HVC 623

Time to start another album, this time for the Newby Hall Classic Car Show held back in 2013 and one of the first cars to catch my eye was this lovely old Daimler.
1965 Daimler 2.5 V8 - ABH 54C

|

Fast forward 16 years and his was what Daimler were churning out ... still rather tasteful I'd say!
1949 Jowett Javelin - MAF 152
| |
|
|
|
The Jowett Javelin was produced from 1947 to 1953 by Jowett Cars Ltd of Idle, near Bradford in England.
It was designed by Gerald Palmer during World War II and was intended to be a major leap forward following the relatively staid designs of pre-war Jowetts. However, with just over 23,000 being produced these little beauties are pretty rare!

1952 Riley RMF - LVC 396

|
|
|
The 2443cc powered Riley RMF was a beautiful looking, but short lived car based on the Riley RME.
It was introduced in 1952, but was out of production by the following year when it was replaced by Gerald Palmer's RMH Pathfinder.

1911 Model T Ford Tourer - BS 9577
| |
|
|
|
The show board was very informative, but I do wish they'd had it stood beside the car and not mounted on the radiator.
Anyway, the Model T (colloquially known of course as the Tin Lizzie at least in the UK) was produced by Henry Ford from 1908 until 1927.
Generally regarded as the world's first truly affordable car and which supposedly came in any colour as long as it was black!
1902 Panhard Levassor - AT 31

|

Panhard is currently a French manufacturer of light tactical and military vehicles.
However, the company was originally called Panhard et Levassor and established as a car manufacturing concern by René Panhard and Émile Levassor in 1887.
They sold their first car in 1890, but sadly ceased manufacturing for the civilian market in 1968.

1969 Ford Escort Mexico MkI - UTC 418H
| |
|
|
|
Hard to believe that the Mk1 Ford Escort design is now the best part of 50 years old, but it is and it looks as good today as it ever did.
And although this Mexico, which looked like an angry wasp on steroids, may not be to everyone's taste it certainly grabbed attention at the show and could definitely have a space in my 'dream garage'.
1966 Wolseley 1100 - EUX 869D
| |
|
|
|
This old 'land crab' looked pretty neat overall although there did appear to be something going on with that front wing.
Based on the BMC ADO16 platform it was one of several economical small family cars built by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and, later, British Leyland.
It was launched in 1962 and for most of the next decade the ADO16 was consistently the UK's best-selling car.
The ADO16 was marketed under various make and model names including: Austin 1100 and 1300; MG 1100 and 1300; and Riley Kestrel as well as the Wolseley 1100, 1275, and 1300 to name but a few.
Badge engineering ... don't you just miss it!
1954 MG TF Midget - EFB 585
| |
|
|
|
This 'creamy dreamy' MG from 1954 was ultra clean and certainly impressive, but I have to say I'd much rather have any one of the umpteen cool cars that America were producing around the same time.
Maybe they're just too classy for me!
1961 Ford Thames 400E - 570 RKP
| |
|
|
|
The Ford Thames 400E was made by Ford UK and introduced in 1957. Production continued until September 1965, by which time a total of 187,000 had been built.
And very nice they are too!
1965 Pontiac Catalina - KBY 282C
| |
|
|
|
The Catalina name was used by Pontiac from 1950 to 1981. Initially, it was used strictly to denote hardtop body styles, first appearing on the 1950 Chieftain Eight and Deluxe Eight lines.
However, in 1959, the Catalina became a separate model, as the "entry-level" full-size Pontiac.
Produced in various formats, this is the very desirable two-door fastback version.
Would I have one? Is Santa busy at Christmas? Of course I would! And, for those that like it as much as I do, please note there are 5 shots in this series.

1963 Ford Consul Capri - 6262 KX

The Ford Consul Classic is a mid-sized car that was built by Ford UK from 1961 to 1963. It was available in two or four door saloon form, in Standard or Deluxe versions, and with floor or column gearshift.
The Ford Consul Capri, as seen here, was a 2-door coupé version of the Classic, and was available from 1961 through until 1964.
1961 Chevrolet Corvette (C1) - HSU 483
| |
|
|
|
This glorious looking Corvette was first registered over here in 1988, but was manufactured in 1961.
Interestingly, that was the year that the rear of the car was completely redesigned with the addition of the so-called "duck tail" featuring four round lights: a design formation that would become synonymous with the Corvette for decades to come.
