Haverfordwest Classic Car Show June 2016

Post by Andrew 2.8i »

Hi All,
Here are some photos from the recent classic car show at Haverfordwest. The standard of the cars can't compete with the ones in Nick's photos from Santa Pod, but I'll post them anyway.

There weren't many Capris there, unfortunately, but this 2.0S in black was superb.

Image

Image

Modified pre-facelift Mk1 fitted with a V8.

Image

Image

This very original 2.0GL is exhibited at a lot of the local shows.

Image

I think the back of the Consul Capri is much better looking than the front.

Image

This Mk2 Escort Mexico looks fantastic in yellow.

Image

Dark blue seems to be an unusual colour for an RS2000.

Image

They look awesome in black though.

Image

Yellow with an X pack.

Image

Wonderfully immaculate Cortina 2.0 Ghia.

Image

And this Escort Ghia deserves high praise.

Image

Mean-looking Anglia.

Image

Escort XR3.

Image

I'm a sucker for a stunning Cobra kit.

Image

I wouldn't turn down this MDA GT40 kit either.

Image

Several Irish enthusiasts make the trip to this show every year. They were a friendly bunch of lads and had some superb timewarp cars.

BMW 316 (E21).
Image

Image

When was the last time you saw a 1st generation Honda Civic?

Image

Image

Lancia Delta Integrale 16V.

Image

Talbot Sunbeam LS.

Image

Image

Toyota Celica GT-Four.

Image

Image

Fiesta Mk2 1.1 auto.

Image

Image

Talking of Fiestas, this 1.1L was also immaculate.

Image

Image

1967 Citroen DS19.

Image

Hillman Imp Californian Coupe.

Image

1961 Mercedes 190SL.

Image

Opel Ascona (Vauxhall Cavalier) Cabriolet.

Image

This Astra GTE was the same one that was at the Cardiff show a few weeks ago.

Image

A stunning Mk1 GTE.

Image

Image

A pair of beautiful Novas, a 1.3 Sport and a 1.3SR.

Image

Image

Image

Another Vauxhall! This time a VX4/90.

Image

Lotus Esprit S3.

Image

Opel Manta 1.8 Berlinetta. The hatch doesn't look anywhere near as good as the coupe, in my opinion.

Image

A rival coupe from back in the day. VW Scirocco.

Image

There weren't many American cars at the show, but these three Chevrolets were my favourites.

Image

Image

Image

Plymouth Prowler.

Image

This won't be to everyone's tastes, but I quite liked it. It's a one-off chop-shop job Rover 75 coupe. The roofline and rear window are from a BMW 3 series coupe.

Image

Image

Rare survivor, a Rover 216 Vanden Plas series 1.

Image

Triumph Dolomite Sprint.

Image

Volvo 1800S.

Hi Andrew,
A good selection of cars I would say. Everything you need from a local event :D

The Anglia and Mk1 GTE are great :applaud:

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,
Yes, they were both very nice cars, I especially liked the GTE.
I will definitely make this show a regular fixture as it is probably the best one in the area. There were around 600 exhibits in all, which isn't bad for a local show.

Hi Andrew.

Fantastic photos mate. That looks a cracking show. Really enjoyed looking through them :)

Those Capri's look lovely. Great show of Mk2 Escorts. That red Ghia looks simply stunning as does the yellow mexico. Love the Red Cortina 2.0 Ghia too !

What a fantastic selection of classics some of which you just dont see like that Honda Civic. Andrew it looks like you had a brilliant day with so many cars !

Did you take your 2.8i mate ? If so bet it got loads of attention.

Anyway thanks for the photo's. Nice one.

All the best

Nick

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the comments, I'm pleased that you enjoyed looking through the photos. Yes, I took my car to the show on Sunday On the way in to the show field, the marshal asked me if I "wouldn't mind" parking near the Escort RS2000s. I could think of worse places to park! :D

Image

On Saturday, there was also a classic car run through glorious Pembrokeshire countryside, which was part of the same thing.

All the best,
Andrew.

That run sounds like a lot of fun. Capri is looking really good as always Andrew. That rover coupe looks an excellent conversion, a lot of work & looks like a factory produced car. Think the mk1 Astra GTE looks superb, rare now & that one is in great shape, like the X packed RS too. Looked a great show, cheers for posting.

Hi Rob,
Thanks very much.

Although the Rover 75 is not really my thing, I had to marvel at the quality of the conversion. Not only did it look just right, in terms of proportions, but the quality of work was superb. If you didn't know any better, you'd swear it was made on the production line alongside the saloon. In fact, with Longbridge's reputation, I'd say the build quality was better than the factory could produce!
The chap was a Rover 75 nut, really enthusiastic about them. The car always had people around it, and he was always happy to talk. Fair play to him!
In case you hadn't already guessed, it was the same chap that had the Rover 75 two-front-halves job at Cardiff.

Yep, it's been a long, long time since I've seen one that good. Great colour too. One of the stars of the show, in my opinion.

This show is definitely one to put in my diary for next year.

All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Absolutely stunning fella...stunning ! Thanks for the really great photo mate :D

Your 2.8 injection really is a credit to you mate as I know you have been told on numerous occasions. Its no wonder you have a sofa in your garage... :oops: :sorry:.. I meant I bet you wished you had a sofa in your garage ;)

By the way, yep I totally agree Andrew, its not bad to be parked up alongside the RS2000 chaps at all...you were in good company, but then again so were they :D

All the best

Hi Andrew,

Some Great Cars there, too many to mention them all, but a special mention must go out to the (obviously the Fords...) VW Scirocco, the MKI Astra GTE and the Rover, so long as when you say 'Chop Shop', it wasn't the idiots Bernie & Leepu!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh and the Delta Integrale.... Nice pics Andrew, cheers for sharing them. Also made me miss Haverfordwest, I used to go on Holidays a lot in Lydstep and we would visit here an awful lot, all round Pembrokeshire in fact, an amazing part of the Country. Cheers for sharing, all the best,

John...

Hi John,
Thanks for your comments. It was a decent show and the Pembrokeshire crowd are enthusiastic. They love their classics there!
As you say, it's a picturesque part of the country too.

Andrew.
