Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club Show 24 June 2012

Here's the last of the photographs I took at the Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club Show in June last year. I've previously shown photographs on 19 Aug 2012, 9 Jan 2013 and 23 Sep 2013.

This is a 1934 Ford hot rod

A Hillman Minx Series III from the late 1950s or early 1960s - the '1990' sign appears to belong to the row of cars behind this one. You can read the story of the Hillman Minx here.

A Wolseley 1500, again from the late 1950s or early 1960s, and like the Hillman Minx (and several other cars at the show) a visitor from Jersey. You can read here about the Wolseley and its sister car the Riley One-Point-Five.

A 1952 Lincoln Cosmopolitan. If you'd like to own this car it was advertised for sale on 29 Oct 2013 by carandclassic.co.uk.

A Triumph Bonneville, but I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to its year of manufacture

The board to the left of the car says it's a 1957 Austin Metropolitan, a car designed by Nash in the USA but built by the Austin Motor Company in England and marketed as a Nash and later also as a Hudson in the USA. I remember it from the 1950s as a Nash Metropolitan, probably from the 'Observer's Book of Cars'.

Here's some more photographs that I took of the cars on display at the 2012 show. I didn't note any details of the cars at the time so I'm relying on my knowledge of older cars (with a little help from Google searches) to say what the cars are.

The right-hand car's an Austin 7 from the mid-1930s, but I'm not too sure about the one on the left. It's a Morris, probably a Major, from the early 1930s.

This is obviously a Rolls Royce and I think the Twenty was the only one made with the horizontal radiator slats. It dates from the mid 1920s.

It's difficult to differentiate between some of the T-type MGs but I think that this is a TA, produced between 1936 and 1939. Bad composition - the bouncy castle is behind the MG, not on top of the roof!

The Humber Sceptre was produced between 1963 and 1976 and this is a Mk2 which was in production from 1965 to 1967.

Another MG, this time a Y-type, although whether it's a YA or YB I can't tell. The YA was made between 1947 and 1951 and the YB from 1951 to 1953.

Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club Show June 2012

I've previously shown some photographs taken at the Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club Show in June 2012. All kinds of vehicles take part in this show and below are two tractors which were on display:

This is the 1951 Ferguson Tractor T20 which won the award for the Best Commercial/Tractor

I didn't take the details of this tractor, but it's a Massey Ferguson, possibly a type M35

Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club Show 24 June 2012

I recently posted some photographs taken at the Tame Valley Vintage and Classic Car Club show in Ashton-under Lyne. When we were in Guernsey recently our daughter-in-law Anna took us to see the car show organised by the Guernsey Classic Vehicle Club at Saumarez Park. Below are a few of the photographs I took:

An Austin A90 Atlantic from the early 1950s. The Austin Atlantic was designed in the early post-war years specifically to appeal to the North American export market, but it did not sell a great number there. The engine was a modified Austin A70 unit which was later used in the Austin Healey 100.

This is a Moretti, but I don't know which model it is. Moretti was an Italian manufacturer and achieved some competition success with its cars in the 1950s.

Morris Minor convertible

Morris Minor Traveller, with the back half of another Traveller as a trailer. Anna loved this one! It's one of several vehicles which travelled from Jersey to the show.

Another Jersey car, a Standard 10 from the mid to late 1950s

I remember these Austin K8 trucks and vans from my early youth. This one's in the form of a breakdown vehicle.

An AC Cobra Replica - the original car was built in the 1960s and more recently Shelby Automobiles Inc, AC Cars and AC Heritage have produced 'continuation' cars and there are several manufacturers making replica models.
