This year's show was as large as ever, and the weather was very hot, so I gave up after a couple of hours. (It's a 90 minute drive from my home anyway). I am getting old now - everything seemed so new, like a Youngtimers Show. Rows and rows of grey porridge from the 1980s/90s and even newer. One exhibitor sat proudly next to his Mazda MX5 but it was the latest model, which began production in 2015. I mean, just WHY ? No veteran cars, a few Model Ts from the 1910s, and this year a lot of Americana - must be a big thing in Ireland.
One image is mundane - a Morris Minor tourer, but it is an early one, lowlight and all. My aunt had one just like it, same colour, bakelite controls and leather seats. She was a terrible driver. My father instructed me to sit in the front seat and take control of the steering wheel if it became necessary. I was all of 10 years old.
I hope the photos get onto this page. Earlier today it told me I had already used them elsewhere on the site. Odd.
Crossley 14hp.
Mildly interesting cars.
The Armstrong Siddeley now correctly sized, and more cars.
Americana.
More odds and ends. When did you last see a Victor Estate ? I think the Marina campervan is by Sun-Tor.
This disappeared later in a cloud of dust after reaching 88mph.
