A messy display what with all the stuff lying around and a poor shot if I'm honest what with blown highlights and all. Still, I don't come across these all that often so I thought it was still worth sharing. It was up for sale too ... a possible snip at £7,775.

A reworking of one from the archives taken at Ripon, North Yorkshire. Please take time to view it large if possible.

There were lots of truly lovely cars at Newby Hall back in 2013, but this 5-window V8 powered Ford was one of the most striking and would definitely bring a smile to my face it were mine!

Fast forward 16 years and his was what Daimler were churning out ... still rather tasteful I'd say!

Produced from 1967 to 1969 it was really a slight face-lift and re-labelling of the 2.5 V8 saloon and differed in relatively small details. This one was first registered in April 1968.

Anothe detail shot from the Harewood House event back in 2011, this time it's the distinctive badge of a V8-powered Monaro VXR. For those that haven't come across the name before, VXR is a brand name used by Vauxhall in the UK for many of their high-performance trim models. Can't help but think of the ThunderCats though whenever I look at this logo!

This is another that I've seen a couple of times. It's always nicely turned out and well presented ... see notes in the above photo for a shot of it with the top down.

This one's for you Ann ... The RV8 was released in 1993 by Rover with the intention of keeping the classic MG name alive and uniting traditional MG customers with more modern motoring enthusiasts. However, due to its very high price in the UK the car did not find the demand Rover had hoped for. 1,982 RV8's were manufactured in total, with 80% of them being sold in Japan, and the vast majority of Japanese versions being Woodcoat Green. As well as the performance offered by a V8 engine in a 1,250 odd kg chassis, the interior featured luxury refinement in the form of veneered burr elm woodwork and Connolly leather.

And here is said shot of the F-100 leaving the showground ... proper old truck!

I really liked this old F-100, but never managed to get a clean shot with the bonnet down. I did snatch a shot of it from the back though as it was leaving the showground, which I'll upload next.

How many bugs can one Model A catch on its way to a show!

Not all the cars at the show were white ... just some of the best ones!

To me the Ford Pilot, as produced in the UK during the late Forties and early Fifties is one of the best looking cars the company has ever made. Modified, or standard like this one, I don't think I've seen one yet I'd not want to own.
