Hi All,
Well, had an early start for this one, me and my mate Jim, but as per usual, got the M25 crap Sat traffic, took ages to get down there, but was well worth it I think.... See what you think???
Here's the view as we pulled into the Car Park...

And now for what replaced the Beloved Cortina, the Sierra...
20160813_114424 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OK, perhaps not this model, but you get the idea....
Great to see one still supporting the Original 'Lollipop Stick' Wheels...
20160813_114517 by John Taylor, on Flickr
These still have Presence on the Road. Even Jim thought so.... That's him reading up on this one...
20160813_114155 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Lets move onto the Escorts then and there where plenty there today... Hows about this RS Turbo....
20160813_114628 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OK, now for the Older ones, though you wouldn't think so looking at them....
Beautiful RS 1600 I think it was??
20160813_113718 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Amazing!!! I also love what they can do with this 'Banding' for the original Steel wheels... Just looks amazing!!!
20160813_114000 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Under the Bonnet too....
20160813_113942 by John Taylor, on Flickr

This chap had a nice Harris set up, sorry I didn't get a pic...
20160813_115344 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OH!!! Another Capri and a Cracking Escort....
20160813_115101 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OK, last of the MKI...
20160813_115340 by John Taylor, on Flickr
So onto the MKII's...
In amazing style, look at these 2....

Well, I think that's it for now, just one last car to show you... But I feel the Sign in the rear Window, is to entice you on to have a go...
20160813_120121 by John Taylor, on Flickr
What do you think???
20160813_120108 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Is that a Supercharger bolted on the side of the Block??? What an Intercooler!!! Sorry, it's not in the Pic, but it was the width of the car....
Well, all for now, must get some rest for Battlesbridge tomorrow. I'll see if I can post some Pics of that next Week, cheers all for now.
Hope you enjoyed these pics as much as I did taking them.... Cheers,
John....

Hi John.
Wow ! What a stunning turn out of Fords mate. Great stuff.
Well...after some consideration my favourite just has to be that Red 2.0 Pinto Capri mate....it even has a silver rocker cover and K&N air filter just like mine....I love it
Hey John far too many glorious Fords to start putting them in order...I simply love 'em all
Just a shame my dam job has got in the way....again ! Would have loved to have joined you and Jim mate. Thanks for the fantastic pics....they really cheered me up at work right now....
All the best John
Nick....very envious.....

Re: Boxhill August 2016...
Hi John,
Looked a great show at Boxhill, some truly stunning Fords turned up. As you say, the standard of cars there looked amazing, especially the quality of Escorts. Big fan of that red mk3 cortina too. The blue 2 door is a Ford Taunus P7B made for the German market from late 60s to early 70s, this one looks a stunner, must be very rare over here.
Great pictures, as always, enjoyed looking.
Thanks for posting,
Rob

Hi John,
Looks like you had a great day, definitely worth the pain of an early start!
As you said, there was an incredibly high standard of cars at this meet. All of them are gorgeous!
I really enjoyed looking through the photos, thanks for posting them.
I'm already looking forward to seeing tomorrow's photos from Battlebridge.....
All the best,
Andrew.

Cracking pictures as ever mate. Love the last Anglia. You don't see many original 'A' plates of any type theses days.
