It certainly feels as though the weekends are now filling up with events to go to. This show was the first for the year at Croxley Green organised by the Watford Classic Vehicle Club and was smaller than the later summer gatherings. Even though quite a few of the cars have become familiar and do the rounds of the local meets there are always a few new and interesting vehicles to see.
This red Beetle was built in New Zealand form a CKD factory “kit” in 1961 and was the property of its first owner until 1998 soon after which it came to the UK. Its still on its original engine and has since had various period accessories added.
This line-up of 3 ½ very different Citroens was also great to see. There was another small one hiding round the back!
I expected this superb looking Mk 1 Cortina to be powered by a Pinto or maybe a Zetec so the fairly serious V8 grumble when it fired up was a surprise.
Several period tuned engines were also on display, my favourite being this Aquaplane and Shorrock equipped sidevalve Ford in a Falcon special.
Check out the Flickr gallery for more photos. We'll continue to attend shows large and small to give you a full flavour of our scene here in the UK. We'd certainly like to hear from you if you are heading out and about further afield as well.
