Kent All Ford Show 2017...

Post by Taff50ish »

Hi All,

Well I managed to get down to this show again this Year. Yet again, there was an awful lot here to view, lots of Capri's too, which is always a good thing, but there where also a few V8 conversions too to see, all done very well, lets start the tour with these, so here goes...

Not very subtle....
Image20170423_134126 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And the V8....
Image20170423_134112 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Beautifully done I think you'll agree, immaculate even... Love the Coil Holder!!!

Again, not too subtle.... Nice choice of Bumpers etc....
Image20170423_134505 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And the V8...
Image20170423_134520 by John Taylor, on Flickr

I think you'll agree, this is just to die for???
Image20170423_134810 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And the V8...
Image20170423_134817 by John Taylor, on Flickr

So from the Mighty V8's, to the lowly Pinto's....
Image20170423_140530 by John Taylor, on Flickr
But you can't get much better than this amazing example!!! Nick, more competition for you...???
Image20170423_140500 by John Taylor, on Flickr
From every angle it's the same story!!!!
Image20170423_140636 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Even its Arse!!!
Image20170423_140704 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Then there was this Injection, complete with Tail pipes for Danny to have for his New Found Friends in Bristol....
Image20170423_140700 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Under the Bonnet did not disappoint either!!!
Image20170423_140723 by John Taylor, on Flickr
One Day I'm determined mine will look this good again!!!!

I'm sure most of you recognise this beauty...
Image20170423_140422 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Gets every where....

Then there was this Simply STUNNING MKI example, AMAZING!!!!
Image20170423_134753 by John Taylor, on Flickr

From the same era, I wish the Colour showed in the Pic, as this is just an incredible colour in the flesh!!!
Image20170423_131041 by John Taylor, on Flickr

What is it about the Capri, when you lose the Bumpers and Body bumpers??? Such a Clean simple look, but stunning with it!!!
Image20170423_134420 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Stunning in Black, with Deep Dish Minilites and a MKII Grill....
Image20170423_134345 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Then I came across Steve's Cappa. Sorry fella, I did have a look for you, but could not see you, hope you're well and fettling??? Hope to catch up next Week down at Simply Ford...
Image20170423_134228 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Another angle for the Forum lad....
Image20170423_134212 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Onto another Steve. this time the chap I parked next to last Year here, still 2 stunning Capri's....
Image20170423_134933 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Ops!!! I nearly forgot the Car Park Capri's. I parked opposite this one...
Image20170423_125913 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Then walked past this one heading for the Entrance...
Image20170423_125944 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Then spotted this one over the Fence.... I think it's what is known as an Honesty Fence!!!
Image20170423_130318 by John Taylor, on Flickr
It was just a run of Hazard Tape!!!!

And to finish the Capri's off. there where more there, I just want to get a few other pics in....
Image20170423_134219 by John Taylor, on Flickr

So, as stated, onto the other Fords now... Lets start with the.....
XR3 in the Car Park...
Image20170423_125926 by John Taylor, on Flickr

A Capri buried by Anglia's....
Image20170423_130051 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Consul, as I had finished with the Cappas...

How about a Tasty XR4i....
Image20170423_130540 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Lets stick with the Fast Fords, a Lotus Cortina....
Image20170423_130521 by John Taylor, on Flickr

No, lets stick with the XR4i, look at this Beauty!!!!
Image20170423_133437 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Or a Cortina on Mag Slots???
Image20170423_133735 by John Taylor, on Flickr
This really does just work!!!

Tell you what, we mentioned the Anglia's earlier, lets look again....
Image20170423_133525 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Automotive PORN coming up....
Image20170423_133530 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And another one...
Image20170423_133546 by John Taylor, on Flickr

How about something a little bit different now???
Image20170423_133717 by John Taylor, on Flickr

That's enough.... Oh, go on then, a couple more!!!!
This one I've seen a few times now and it never fails to bring a smile to my face, but this Year, I fear the crown may have moved over...
Image20170423_133746 by John Taylor, on Flickr

To this!!! WOW!!!!
Image20170423_133819 by John Taylor, on Flickr

So while we're on Cortina's, how about this one???
Image20170423_135433 by John Taylor, on Flickr

No, the Dark Blue one....
Image20170423_135501 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Still not got it???
Image20170423_135507 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Brilliant!!! I should have got the Exhaust in...

This just had to have a Pic taken.... Can't help but think of having a Scooby Snack about now!!!
Image20170423_135536 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Would you believe it???? Another Car Park Car....
Image20170423_141343 by John Taylor, on Flickr

And look what was next to it???
Image20170423_141356 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Wow....

Well, looks like it's Escort time then.... Lets kick off with this beauty!!!
Image20170423_140828 by John Taylor, on Flickr

These all look good....
Image20170423_140238(0) by John Taylor, on Flickr

But this one was a bit special... What do you think???
Image20170423_140140 by John Taylor, on Flickr
I'm not usually a lover of Big Rims.... (If you pardon the expression.) but these do work on this car!!!
Image20170423_140059 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Image20170423_140134 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Something else a bit special???
Image20170423_135844 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Then these 2....
Image20170423_135931 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Under the hood on them both then...
Standard.... (ish...)
Image20170423_135948 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Not so standard...
Image20170423_135939 by John Taylor, on Flickr

MKI & another Cappa, so I lied....
Image20170423_140333 by John Taylor, on Flickr

MKII & the same Cappa...
Image20170423_140336 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Good idea. Lets do a couple of the MKII's, starting with this one...

Hi John,
Fantastic pics as as ever, thanks for taking the time to upload them.
What an amazing selection of cars, all of them look superbly presented too. There are too many to mention them all but the Capris all look stunning.

Far be it from me to be pedantic, and I appreciate that tiredness is a factor here, but isn't the Cortina on slot mags a Corsair? Cool car though, as is the wild Cortina dragster.

All the best,
Andrew.

Wish I could have made this, would have been a good one to tag along to!

I'm definitely a fan of the big exhaust 2.8 ;) :lol:
This Sunday I am very much looking forward to, I have taken the Friday off work so I have all day Friday and Saturday to get as many coats of polish and extra shine finish on!

Morning all,

Thanks for the comments so far, it was a great show. Nick, at least you heard my sarcasm in my typing, as you know how highly I think of the Pinto!!! As next to these monsters, I was thinking of my puney V6.... :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Andrew, I won't say I was / am wrong, but I will admit you could be right.... :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Danny, I look forward to seeing the new deeper shine fella....

All the best chaps, cheers,

John.....

Hello again John,
Just looking through the photos again, this time in large scale on my PC instead of the phone I was using earlier.
This looks like an amazing show, the standard of cars is incredible.
Didn't you display yours?

Hi mate, great pictures. Mine don't look too bad! I did spend quite a while walking round the fields etc. Was on our club stand as the most 1 (SYD) is one of my friends. Lovely car which he restored from scratch.
Next show I'm at is battlesbridge on may 17th? Will be with the same crowd. I'll try and hang around a bit so please come and say hello!
