St Fagans Classic Car Show 19 July
Drove to St Fagans in Cardiff this morning in the pouring rain only for it to dry up as soon as we got there & turn in to a stunning day. There were 3 fields full of cars of all types, took a few pictures so hope you like them. Only the second time we've been but will definately go again.
Just one of the show fields

Shiny Focus RS
Just as shiny Escort Cosworth
A number of classic escorts, Smart Mk1
Bubble arched Mexico

A friends 1600 Sport, one family owned 58,000 miles, bought from Kent this year
Cosworth powered RS
Lots of XR Fords in attendance, XR4i
XR2
XR3, really fancied this one
Stunning condition XR3 Cabrio
Nice MK1 fiesta with Capri LS steel wheels
Late model Mustang
90's Mustang
Ford 5 window coupe was done to high standard
Plenty of non fords, here are just a few, 57 Chevy estate
Rally Celica GT4
Datsun 240Z

Re: St Fagans Classic Car Show 19 July
Hi Rob,
What a fantastic show, thanks for posting the photos.
Corey's car looks stunning, I bet he had an admiring crowd around it all day.
Loads of other great cars, too many to single out any. I recognise a lot of the cars from the Cardiff and Singleton Park shows, but there are plenty that I haven't seen before. I was going to go to this show myself but chose the Gwili Railway show instead as it is a lot closer to home.
I'll probably make the trip next year as this show looks much better.
All the best,
Andrew.

Thanks Andrew, he had loads of great comments & pictures taken of it all day, probably something to do with the 4 hours he spent on Saturday waxing itAndrew 2.8i wrote: Corey's car looks stunning, I bet he had an admiring crowd around it all day.

The Shows you, John & Nick went to were great to see as well, definitely more capris about over the border, will have to make a few longer trips next year I think.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob.
Mate great photos from what looks a fantastic show. Glad the sun turned out for you too...looks a beautiful day.
Fella I have to say that white Fiesta XR2 is divine...love them. That shape is by far the best Fiesta in my opinion...
And your sons Mini looks absolutely superb. All credit to him mate I had heard from You and Andrew talking that he had one but this is the first time I seen it in all its glory. Nice one !
You and Andrew and your Son should all pop over some time for a show this part of the world. Would be great to meet up. If not I must head over your way...what are the opening times of that big bridge again...
All the best mate and please pass on my comments to your son...well deserved indeed

Yes, MK1 Fiesta was like new, would love a Supersport in black myself. Cheers for comment on my boys Mini, he keeps it looking nice.Fordoholic Nick wrote: Fella I have to say that white Fiesta XR2 is divine...love them. That shape is by far the best Fiesta in my opinion...

Yes, We'll have to pop over, either a Ford show or the Queen Square meet maybe.

South Wales XRs were immaculate, fair play to them.

Re: St Fagans Classic Car Show 19 July
Hi Rob,
Looks like a great show and perfect weather too. Struggling to pick my favorite car out of your photo's
Must say your lads Mini is very nice. I wouldn't mind one of those myself, it could make a good daily driver for me
All the best
Neil

HI Rob,
Great Pic's of what looks like a GREAT day out for you too.... Some brilliant cars there I must say, the 1st pic caught my eye, the Audi Coupe Rally Colours, I used to love, well, still do actually, these cars, amazing when they were released onto the Rally World and ever since too. This was I think looking at the Pic a MKI, Long Wheel Base, as they kinda got know, as very soon after this, they brought out a Shorter one with better grip etc, but nothing stopped me admiring the first incarnation!! Did you get a Look inside the Toyota Celica Rally car??? If so, did it have the Dreaded 4th Pedal???
Great news for your Lad, congratulations.... Cheers for sharing these Pic's, brilliant, many thanks, all the very best,
John...

Yes weather turned out great after, some very nice cars in attendance, couldn't pic one myself. My boys Mini is his daily driver, he's not keen on modern cars so suits him great.
Cheers,
Rob

Audi Quattro is well presented, he also owns an immaculate bright red road car version as well, he was toying with selling the road car for £15,000, I've got no idea if that's good or not but it looked stunning in the pictures. I didn't notice the pedals in the Celica but really liked the car. Owner said though it's stripped out it's not too loud in there, which was good as he was saying he can't help but give it some when he's driving it
Cheers,
Rob
