As has been mentioned in previous threads, a fantastic day was had by all. It's always a pleasure meeting new folks from the forum and putting names to faces. Well, what a show! All sorts of Fords across all the ages made this a great day out. Unfortunately there were too many fantastic cars to be able to post photos of them all, but here are some of my highlights. I hope you enjoy looking through them.
These are the best of the Capris to begin with (this is the Capri forum after all!).
I'll start with Bobby's 2.0 Laser, as I don't believe that I've seen a photo of this on the forum before. I didn't get a chance to ask Bobby about it, as he was just leaving as I arrived to look at it.
Next is Nick's stunning 2.0 Laser. Enough has been said about this car, I don't need to add any more.
John's and Neil's 2.8 Injections. More stunning forum cars!
I really liked this 2.0S in signal yellow.
This 280 is a 30,000 odd thousand mile one owner from new car. Although it's fair to say that this car divided opinion like few others. One of only a handful with an auto gearbox.
Opinions were unanimous on this 3.0 Ghia. Absolutely beautiful in every respect.
There weren't that many Mk2 Capris there, but I'm pleased that this 3.0S was.
Luke's 2 Litre that had been restored by Steve was also there. It's the first time I've seen this in person and I really like it.
This Facelift GXL was gorgeous.
As was this 1600GT.
And this 3000GT pre-facelift.
Some of the smaller engine Capris tend to get overlooked, but this 1300 was a beauty.
Another stunning Laser.
This 2.0GL caught my eye.
Even if the slogan in the window is a bit close to the truth for some.....
The best condition XR2 at the show. It just so happens it was on Andy's XR stand.
This beautiful XR4i was also on the same stand. I didn't see a single XR4x4 at the show though, which was a little disappointing.
Talking of Sierras, there were some beautiful RS500s there. These were my two favourites.
Some of the truly stunning Mexicos and RS2000s that were at the show.
A Granada Mk1 Perana V8. Awesome.....
Also for the South African market is the Cortina XR6.
Plenty of Escort RS Turbo S1 to be seen.
Wouldn't it be good to be able to buy these for the Capri?
A pair of Lotus Cortinas. Personally, I prefer the look of the MK2 over the Mk1.
This Escort Mk1 van was finished to a high standard. The number plate gives the game away about what was lurking under the bonnet....
This Fiesta looked like nothing spectacular. Until you saw the RWD and rear engine conversion, on top of that all of the engine and suspension parts were spotlessly clean.
This RS1600i had been owned by the same chap for 19 years. Boy, has he looked after it well, as it was immaculate and looked totally original.
I searched in vain for a Mk3 XR3 or XR3i, and this Cabriolet was the best I could come up with.
This Transit looked like it had just been driven from the showroom.
Another great Transit.
I'm not sure what's going on with this KA.
A couple of custom jobs.
Ford Cortina 2000E Mk3.
Loved this Zephyr MkIV.
A tasty Mk1 fiesta.
Green seems to suit the Escort Mk2 really well, as these cars prove.
Mustang Mach 1.
Another Mustang. These look best with the fastback, in my opinion.
The latest Ford Mustang looks the biz.
There were surprisingly few non-Mustang American Fords there. I like this Galaxie 500 though.
Ford Thames 300E van.
You don't seem to see many vans with custom paint jobs like this any more.
That's enough from me, I hope you enjoyed looking through these photos.
Andrew.
thanks for posting these, was hoping to see some after the build up for the show & you and Nick didn't disappoint. Looks like a great attendance, the weather makes a massive difference ( the Swansea show today was half what it was last year due to this 
). Will have to make simply ford another time as it looked well worth the trip.
We should have had a XR4X4 but it broke down at 10pm Saturday evening 
) 
XR4i always gets a crowd too.
Didn't see an Mk3 XR3 or 3i....But there are plenty still around.
especially as I gave 4 months notice for it.
