What have you done today

[Chuffer]

Great pictures, the “yanks” seem to be holding their own against those Krauts.

It was very noticeable that the Yanks seemed draw most of the attention throughout the day plus the odd `hopped up` Jap and the stunning modded MGF . We certainly had the bragging rights on the exhaust sounds front !

 

[Chuffer]

Was never a fan of lettered tires on a C2 but I must admit they look pretty good on that 66 big block.
The 69 Mach 1 looks real nice.

Yeah , stunning condition throughout but maybe not the best colour ?

Chevrolet really hit a home run with the all new big block hood for 1967. No wonder many big block owners with 65 and 66 cars upgraded.
The “stinger” which usually matched the interior colour really makes the car pop.
Small block owners also, for more street cred. At traffic light drags they didn’t have too. The other car knew they had the juice from the hood.

The Jaguar XJS was a very early pre - HE model and absolutely immaculate after a full engine rebuild . Been in the same family since new . Fuel consumption that put most Yank Tanks to shame though !!!

 

[Nassau65]

Those early V12’s certainly liked a drink.
I can’t remember which was worse those. or a Chrysler corporation 440-6.
UK wise, a toss up between an XJS and a Jensen mk 3

Just found this shot on the Papper Snappers FB page . Pretty cool eh ???

That colour really pops in the sunshine. Nicely polished wheels and clean tires set it off.

Had a great day at Banbury Festival of Motoring today . The event was in only its second year and the centre of the town is shut down and given over to vintage , classic , modern supercars and everything in between in the Market Square and the Castle Wharf area of town . Big crowds walking around all day admiring the cars . Alpine F1 who based in the town had a central display too . Two other CCCUK members turned out to plus a very nice chrome bumper C3 . Town centre display was by advance booking only and we were all lucky enough to get parked together and made a fine sight . A stunning 1948 Packard Sedan and a well patinated Chevrolet De Luxe were parked nearby along with a notch back and fast back Mustangs . The big surprise was when I picked up the `Sponsors Choice ` award at close of play . Gob smacked to say the least .

Another show yesterday, this time in our local village. This annual event has been going for more than 40 years now with the size and quality of the turnout improving every year. In the last few years it's been attracting a significant american attendance and this year was no exception.....​

Nash rambler sporting a rather cumbersome continental kit......


...and the fabulous 'flying lady' hood ornament.



Spectacular 'acres' of Caddy de Ville....


.....and a couple of 'Vettes - a C8 and a very nicely restored big block '71 C3....


My own '71 was left at home, it was the Daimler's turn this year.
A nice day, nice cars and some very nice people!

Love the photos of the classic Yank Tanks . Those ` Continental` kits were the epitomy of American excess IMO and remind me of a diving deck on the stern of a posh motor launch .

Totally "Vetteless" Hampton Court Palace Concours d' Elegance for me/go every year. Wall to wall fab cars! Great video (not by me) of Day 1:

 

[Nassau65]

The best looking continental Kit in my opinion was the factory one on the 1956 Ford Thunderbirds. It looked so right, not ostentatious at all, and didn’t look like an add on. As mr chuffer said , many look like diving platforms on motor cruisers. Soo OOT, but the owners of said vehicles obviously love them.

Hampton Court Palace C de' E final day yesterday. Class winners and Best in Show:
