Kent All Ford Show 2016. Hail & Sun this time...

Post by Taff50ish »

Hi All,

So today it was down to Kent to the All Ford Show. I went along to this last Year, but was quite late, so I was up early, wash the Capri and on my way down there. Turned out a good move, as I joined the que approx 10:20 and was keenly invited to park up in the Show!!! Great, much less walking involved now and prime parking!!! So I parked up and was quickly joined by 2 other Capri's, who both recognised me from Beaulieu last Year, result!!!

So, on with a good look round. As last Week at Box Hill, there was a Great turn out of Capri's... So on with a few pics...

We'll start with the Capri's then, hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them... Some are a bit dark, as we did have to avoid the odd Hail down pour....

Hi John,
What a stunning set of photos, it looks like you had a cracking day.

That's an amazing turn out of Capris at the first show, all of them look superb, too many stunners to pick a fave!
My favourite non Capri Fords at the show must be the Mk1 Granada coupes, I really like the shape of those.

Looking forward to seeing you next weekend.

Andrew.

Hi John.

Great show of Capri's at Kent fella. Some lovely ones...yours included if course. No wonder you were invited into the show...nice one John :applaud:

That Kent show looks really good. Wish I could have tagged along but the post-stag hangover got the better of me...i was gonna try to get up to Enfield but no chance in the end :beer: :(

Thanks for the brilliant pics. Great Fords !!

All the best mate

Hi All,

As you say Andrew, a GREAT turn out of Capri's. Last Year I was thinking we're a bit thin on the Ground, this year is off to a Flyer though if Boxhill & Kent are owt to go by... Roll on Simply Ford this Week End... Might be like the 45th Gathering at Brooklands???

Thought I should get the XROC in there Andy, but the XR4i did speak for itself, but there where so many on show and I didn't want to post too many pic's, so stuck to what I could up Load and I liked... (Head down now for the Fall Out from that statement!!! :axe: )

Hi Rob, Des, Yep a great show and more relaxed for me that last Years... Nice to park in the show and have the freedom to move about...

Hey Stish,
I was the Larger guy in the Shorts who said Hello fella, very nice car there and a Better shine than I have on mine for sure, but I am working on that. I've just kicked out my 30 odd Year old Turtle Wax, for some Modern Auto Glym.... Fingers crossed I get a chance to use it for this Week end coming... I was a Great Show this and some Great Cars there, including yours fella!!! Not sure if I'm doing Battlesbridge Classic Cars on the 15th May, but I will definitely be going to the Classic Ford one on the 14th August. I recon Nick might be persuaded to come along to this one again, it was a FANTASTIC one last year, one of the BEST I'd say.... I did post some pics of this on here for a reminder!!!??? (Your Car features again!!!)

Well, all for now, I look forward to seeing you all real soon and now I know you are on here Stish, I'll stop for a proper chat next time I see you, all the best everyone, cheers,

John...

Morning All,

Here is a Photo I missed out by mistake from this Year, it was the 1st Capri I saw last Year when I visited this show and it was here again this Year . As you can see from the Photo, it's still an amazing example, really High class Deep Shine and on top of the mod's underneath, I really like the Head Light Mesh covers!!! What a Great Idea and very subtle to boot... Please enjoy!!!

Image20160424_120207 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Well, all for now. Sorry Tom, I don't know how I did that, as I did make a point of checking your car out again, as I remembered it so well from last Year, especially when it was pointed out then, it was the show car on WD.... Cheers Chaps, till next time, all the best,

John...

P.S. Mark, yep, as soon as I find the dates I'll let you know...

Hi mate, no problem. I'm still getting used to the scene,shows etc. Only been doing them for a couple of years now and I don't like to approach people as A; I'm a bit shy and B; don't know what to say. I just enjoy walking round looking at the cars. especially the Capri's. Always had a soft spot for them. This is my 4th one but only after a 28 year gap! Look forward to meeting you at the next show. I'm at Battlesbridge on May 15th and going back to the Friars in Sept. Doing another few shows in between in Kent so might see you about?

Hi Steve.

As already said mate your Capri looks fantastic. My previous one was black but not as nice as yours. Yep I agree those headlight mesh covers look well cool. Do you have plans to refit the bumper over riders as I think it looks good without them :)

Steve I used to keep myself to myself at shows for a few years for exactly the same reasons as you but best thing I did was join up here and meet members in the flesh. Every single member I have met has been so approachable and friendly not too mention knowledgeable. If you see John pop up to him... he wont bite...unless you touch his newly Autoglymed paintwork...he used to be such a nice man when he used his 30yr old Turtle Wax :lol: Joking apart hes extremely passionate about his Capri's and boy does he know his stuff. I bet he wishes he lived further away from me as I keep bothering him for help :lol:

Hope to see you during the summer as I try to tag along with John for some of the "local" meets. Went to Battlesbridge too last year. Stunning show.

All the best mate and once again lovely Capri you got :)
