York Historic Vehicle Group Rally 2011

This is another local show that I like to try and attend if I can.

It is organised by the York Historic Vehicle Group (YHVG), which was formed to bring together people who were interested in old road vehicles: ranging from motorcycles to cars, lorries and buses.

Shortly after the establishment of the club, a rally was held on the York Racecourse, off Knavesmire Road, and this event has been held…  (read more)

How dinky is this old Austin pick-up ... I just love it.

The Chevrolet Bel Air was produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1950–1975 model years. Hardtops in the Chevrolet Deluxe Styleline model range were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952, but it was not a distinct series of its own until the 1953 model year. Bel Air production continued in Canada for its home market only through the 1981 model year.

Could have done without the awful multi-coloured wind breaker in the background reflecting all down the side of the car, but despite that I thought it worth posting this photo given how rare these cars are. I believe there were less than 600 of these manufactured.

One of my favourite VW models in my favourite colour! That said, I'd probably rather have a split screen.

And for the purist, here is a split screen. Have to say I'm not sure about the colour scheme, but each to their own.

Lovely old British sports car .... just a shame about the plastic fencing and that awful tape in the background!

Sadly, I can't confirm the exact year or the specification of this old Volvo as the DVLA no longer have any record of it.

This was apparently a reworked 100E body with the new 997cc overhead valve engine. On test, it recorded a top speed of 73 mph (117 km/h) and acceleration from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 27.2 seconds. A "touring" fuel consumption of 36 miles per gallon (imperial) was also recorded and on the home market, it cost £621, including taxes. Optional extras included a heater, windscreen washers, radio and leather upholstery to replace the standard PVC.

In August 1974, Volvo presented a new generation of cars called the 240 and 260 Series. These new models had been developed from the 140 series and were very similar to their predecessors. Volvo's 240 model almost became a classic in its own lifetime as it was produced for nearly 20 years. On two occasions, the car was given a facelift, for the 1981 and 1986 model years. In all, more than 2.8 million cars in the 240/260 series were built. Find out more about Volvo over the years by clicking the link below: www.volvoclub.org.uk

The Bentley Arnage was a large luxury car produced by Bentley Motors in Crewe, England from 1998 to 2009. The Arnage, and its Rolls-Royce-branded sibling, the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998, and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980. Sadly, I can't confirm the exact details of this gorgeous example as DVLA no longer have a record of it.

Funny how there are some cars you never tire of seeing or for that matter shooting ... this, for me at least, is one of those cars!

The Volvo Amazon was manufactured by Volvo Cars from 1956 to 1970 and so this two-door model from 1970 would have been among the last to have been manufactured. It was powered by the newly designed B20 engine which was used from 1969 to 1981 in various Volvo models including the 1800, 140, and 240 series.

The ultimate hot hatch in many people's opinion. I'm guessing this one is from 1990 as DVLA don't have it listed meaning I've been unable to confirm exactly when it was manufactured.
