Kent All Ford Show 2017...
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....
20170423_134126 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And the V8....
20170423_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....
20170423_134505 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And the V8...
20170423_134520 by John Taylor, on Flickr
I think you'll agree, this is just to die for???
20170423_134810 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And the V8...
20170423_134817 by John Taylor, on Flickr
So from the Mighty V8's, to the lowly Pinto's....
20170423_140530 by John Taylor, on Flickr
But you can't get much better than this amazing example!!! Nick, more competition for you...???
20170423_140500 by John Taylor, on Flickr
From every angle it's the same story!!!!
20170423_140636 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Even its Arse!!!
20170423_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....
20170423_140700 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Under the Bonnet did not disappoint either!!!
20170423_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...
20170423_140422 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Gets every where....
Then there was this Simply STUNNING MKI example, AMAZING!!!!
20170423_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!!!
20170423_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!!!
20170423_134420 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Stunning in Black, with Deep Dish Minilites and a MKII Grill....
20170423_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...
20170423_134228 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Another angle for the Forum lad....
20170423_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....
20170423_134933 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Ops!!! I nearly forgot the Car Park Capri's. I parked opposite this one...
20170423_125913 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Then walked past this one heading for the Entrance...
20170423_125944 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Then spotted this one over the Fence.... I think it's what is known as an Honesty Fence!!!
20170423_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....
20170423_134219 by John Taylor, on Flickr
So, as stated, onto the other Fords now... Lets start with the.....
XR3 in the Car Park...
20170423_125926 by John Taylor, on Flickr
A Capri buried by Anglia's....
20170423_130051 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Consul, as I had finished with the Cappas...
How about a Tasty XR4i....
20170423_130540 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Lets stick with the Fast Fords, a Lotus Cortina....
20170423_130521 by John Taylor, on Flickr
No, lets stick with the XR4i, look at this Beauty!!!!
20170423_133437 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Or a Cortina on Mag Slots???
20170423_133735 by John Taylor, on Flickr
This really does just work!!!
Tell you what, we mentioned the Anglia's earlier, lets look again....
20170423_133525 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Automotive PORN coming up....
20170423_133530 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And another one...
20170423_133546 by John Taylor, on Flickr
How about something a little bit different now???
20170423_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...
20170423_133746 by John Taylor, on Flickr
To this!!! WOW!!!!
20170423_133819 by John Taylor, on Flickr
So while we're on Cortina's, how about this one???
20170423_135433 by John Taylor, on Flickr
No, the Dark Blue one....
20170423_135501 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Still not got it???
20170423_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!!!
20170423_135536 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Would you believe it???? Another Car Park Car....
20170423_141343 by John Taylor, on Flickr
And look what was next to it???
20170423_141356 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Wow....
Well, looks like it's Escort time then.... Lets kick off with this beauty!!!
20170423_140828 by John Taylor, on Flickr
These all look good....
20170423_140238(0) by John Taylor, on Flickr
But this one was a bit special... What do you think???
20170423_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!!!
20170423_140059 by John Taylor, on Flickr
20170423_140134 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Something else a bit special???
20170423_135844 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Then these 2....
20170423_135931 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Under the hood on them both then...
Standard.... (ish...)
20170423_135948 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Not so standard...
20170423_135939 by John Taylor, on Flickr
MKI & another Cappa, so I lied....
20170423_140333 by John Taylor, on Flickr
MKII & the same Cappa...
20170423_140336 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Good idea. Lets do a couple of the MKII's, starting with this one...
20170423_133918 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Re: Kent All Ford Show 2017...
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.

Re: Kent All Ford Show 2017...
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
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....
Andrew, I won't say I was / am wrong, but I will admit you could be right....
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?
