Write Up Fathers Day Classic Cars at Castle Howard

[AleNod]

Great Car Show today - my usual eclectic mix, I'll split them up into a couple of batches. And apologies, I forgot to take pictures of the Zeds, hopefully others can fill in the blanks . . .

Not seen a Marcus in years. Didn’t they have a wooden chassis

Nice photos and they give a flavour of the very wide variety of top quality cars on show today.

I was very impressed by the immaculate Z3's and 4's that attended, and that undoubtedly contributed to the BMW car club winning the 'best group' award. Well done everyone.

A very enjoyable father's day event.

I do seem to remember that . . .

I think I saw 3 or 4 of them, plus a brown one I passed on the run in.

So many great cars . . .

Great photos Alex, none of the cars that I photographed ! Some very interesting cars, but I tend to just click on the ones I really like. I did take photos of different GT6 s, a pimento red Mk3 like the one I had in 1973 and also two Mk1 versions, but not the same colour as the one I had in 1970.

Okay, 2 final comments:

1. Outstanding car of the show (to me) was the Kaiser. Photo's dont do the colour justice. And sliding doors - who knew !
2. Question (I was thinking of @t-tony ): That green bentley look-alike Riley (last 2 photos). See the foot pedal positions ? How does that work then . . .

On the way back I joined the motorway after the roadworks on the big bridge at Goole and sped off toward home. Just past Doncaster nearing the M1 I noticed the rev counter and realized I was in 4th gear! This confirmed two facts:
1. The BMW straight 6 is very smooth.
2. I'm an idiot.

Maybe add your photo's @Z Victor 1 ?

The more the merrier . . .

So many varied and beautiful cars at the show, but if I had to choose 'only one' to own that could be reasonably versatile it would be this.

Yeah, as I suspected Ken. It's time you got an Auto. What do you call someone from Goole ...................... ?

I'm guessing it had a Hand clutch maybe?
