Hurworth Classic Car Show 2013

This tidy Rover caught my eye too, although if I was buying one it would probably be the P5 I'd go for.

This chap seemed to be having a good time and enjoying the conversation!

Detail shot of that gorgeous Sebring Red (I still say it's orange) Mk1 Capri.

The Morris Ten was a medium-sized car introduced in 1933, which continued through a series of variants until 1948 when it was finally replaced.

The AutoTrader website says that this is a TR4, but given that the DVLA show it as having been manufactured in 1965, the very same year that the TR4A with its independent rear suspension system replaced the TR4, it could well be either as there's little difference externally between the two models. Interestingly, although the records say this was manufactured in 1965 it wasn't registered in the UK until 1990.

Okay, so you're probably expecting me to say that this would make a good base for a hot rod? Well, I'm actually thinking it's rather nice as it is ... must be getting old!

Yet another gorgeous Triumph that I found on display at this cracking little show, this time a TR4A from 1967.

Detail shot of another TR4A, but this time it's a 1966 model. You'll find a clickable shot of the car in its entirety, as taken at another event, in the Notes.

Not really a classic or at least not as old as it looks, but certainly a classically styled car. Seen this at a few of the local shows now and it's one of the cleanest examples of this particular marque that I've come across.

Here's a detail shot of another car you might have seen in my photostream before. For those who either didn't see it or can't remember it, there's a couple of additional clickable shots of this car, taken elsewhere, in the Notes.

No, this isn't me having another go with HDR, even if it does have a rather vibrant look to it. Instead this is a shot I took with my little 'point and shoot' Olympus, which I introduced to PaintShop Pro and had some fun with.

Spotted this one apparently checking himself out in the mirror of a TR4 and no doubt thinking to himself: "Hot Dawg ... damn I look good today!"

Detail shot of the front end of one of my favourite kit cars.

And here's a close up of the engine on that red Westfield from earlier.

Well who'd have thought it ... yet another classic Mini on display at Hurworth-on-Tees back in 2013.

Yet another Mini, this time from an earlier period back, but equally appealing!

Not a terrific photo and a rather messy background, but I still thought it worth sharing this one given how few of these cars you come across. The 'mighty' SAAB 96 was manufactured and marketed by Saab from 1960 to January 1980, replacing the 93. The 96 featured aerodynamic two-door bodywork, four passenger seating and a two-stroke, three-cylinder engine. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_96

Another fine example of British motoring found sheltering in the shade on the fringes of the showground. Always worth walking that little bit further at the shows because you never know what you're going to find!
