Simply Ford, Beaulieu, 2014

A few photo's from this Weekend down at Beaulieu. Some cracking motors there, not all Capri's for the faint of Heart.... You've been warned... :D

Image

Image

A Mint MKII
Image

Image

A snug engine swap...
Image

A nice Red Special...
Image

Image

Next to a good looking 280i...
Image

Image

For a moment I thought it was one of my Pre-Cared for Laser's.... (About 22 Years ago!!!)
Image

A Tickford in White...
Image

Image

A good looking used Capri, even with what looks like an original set of 'Wheel Clean Disc's', fitted to the front wheels, haven't seen those for a while now...
Image

Nice engine bay. (And Car of course!!!)
Image

One hiding away in the shade.
Image

Now for a slight change... RS2000 / 1600 Sports anyone???
Image
Image
Even down to the original Ford Steel Wheels

Hows about a Bank of MKIII Cortina's... Amazing sight...
Image

And finally walking back to mine.....
Image

Sorry they ain't all Capri's, but variety so they say... I did actually notice a bit of a decline in the numbers of Capri's there this year, hope it's just seasonal and they'll all be back next year...
Hope you all enjoy these few pic's I took over a great day out, Cheers...

Hi Simon,

This is down near Southampton, Beaulieu motor museum. They have a cracking Museum full of Motoring history, Top Gear area, some film cars, they did have a 007 set of cars last year, but I didn't go into all the museum this year, so don't know if this is still there.
Anyhow, here's a link for you to get all the info, it is on each year,

http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/news/simply-ford-2014

They also do other meets through out the year, a brilliant AutoJumble is held there every year too, for every car, Pre / Post War etc...

Hope you can make it next Year... Only down side is, it is just 1 Day so can be a pain for travel, but worth a blast out I think!!!

John...

Hi,

Great pics, thanks for posting.
A very high standard of cars at this show, yours included. Lacquer red really seems to suit the lines of the Capri. 8-) Is that you in the last photo ignoring the yellow Escort mk1 and admiring your own car?

All the best,
Andrew.

nice photos :) , have been there a several times and was going to this year too but heading off to battlesbridge classic car show this sunday for a change . a fair bit to see but is better to go when there's a fair or auto jumble on, get more for your money on the entrance fee. good atmosphere all round tho and a good day out for all the family.

Hi Andy,
Always seems to be a great standard at shows now-a-days as more & more are getting restored and looked after a bit more, even the daily runners...
Many thanks for the compliments for mine, but I must admit, that is not me in the pic, I'm afraid I make this chap look small.....
Watch this space, I have 'Classics on the Green' next weekend, so long as I'm not working. I'll get some pics posted for that too... This is just a smaller local one in Croxely, just outside Watford, but very popular. There were a good few Fords there last year.
All the best,
John....

Hi Dan,
Yes, I was thinking about Battlesbridge, not been to that one yet, just missed it last year. Sounds like its a good un..... I might have a tough decision to make by the sounds of things!!!
Cheers...
