Not another red Ford Escort I hear you cry. Ah, but look closely, this is actually a Gartrac G6 Escort. The G6 was devised by Gartrac as a road going spin off to the successful G3 & G4 rally & rally cross cars. Most of the cars produced were rear wheel drive and fitted with a 2.8 V6 engine giving them phenomenol acceleration and performance. Only around thirty G6's were produced in total, although many copies were produced around this period. Whether or not this one is genuine I'm afraid I can't say, but it certainly looked the part!

I love the Opel Manta and this is the engine bay of one of the best I've seen in this area. I took two angles and couldn't decide which I liked best so I've uploaded them both. See the photo in notes for a reminder of how this beauty looks overall.

Another I never tire of seeing at the local shows!

The Renault 4, was an economy car produced by the French manufacacturer between 1961 and 1992. It was the first front-wheel drive family car produced by Renault and in many ways was Renault's response to the Citroën 2CV albeit a slightly larger car. This 5 door hatchback I've uploaded was in really quite good condition, but I think for me the favourite variant of this French icon would have to be the panel van. Wouldn't mind one of them at all at least from an aestethic point of view.

This is one of two Manta models that caught my eye at this particular show. Much as I liked the Berlinetta that was parked nearby I have to admit I prefer GT/E if only because it's red!

Spotted in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. Thought I better post it now what with the Christmas decorations in the window! Talking of which, Merry Christmas folks!

And here's another shot of this old Honda, this time front on.

Couldn't resist snapping these three parked up together in the public car park.
