Classics @ Scolton June 2017

Post by Andrew 2.8i »

Hello Everyone,
Last Sunday I went along to the Classics at Scolton show near Haverfordwest. In my opinion it's the best show in the West Wales area, and there were a few interesting cars there. Here are some of my highlights...

In egotistical fashion I'll start off with this photo of my own car that I took on the way through the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

And after arrival....

There were some other nice Capris there, so what better place to start?

ImageFord Capri 1600 XL LBX313G by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

This 1983 2.0S was immaculate and was for sale. The seller was asking for £7,500, but I told him that it was probably worth closer to £9K to the right buyer. What are your opinions?

Hi Andrew,
What a great selection of Fords and other classics :applaud:

Nice to see such an early G reg Capri, and that 2.0S looks great, I agree it's worth around £9K all day long.

Love the Red Mk2 Golf GTI, Astra GTE and Corvette C3 too :D

I thought so, considering what Dr. B sold that red one for recently. I thoroughly looked over this one and the bodywork seemed flawless.

I also really like the C3 corvettes, I prefer the coupe to the convertible.
By my calculation, there were only 27 Mk1 Astra GTEs licensed as of Q4 2016!

Hi Andrew,

Amazing pics you've posted here fella!!! I really don't know where to start!!! Too many Great Motors... (Must have taken an AGE to Up-Load???)

As said, the Astra MKI GTE.... Wow, there's a Pic of Nick at an Uxbridge Show admiring one of these!!! Love them... Also the Rover Vitesse.. I was Lucky enough to Chauffeur in one of these in the 1980's, an early MKI, with Small Instrument Binnacle, before it went right across to the passenger side!! I must also agree with the Ferrari Dino.... Wasn't it Enzo who said as the engine is in the front, I won't have the Ferrari Badge on the Front, so they put the Dino Badge on the Front??? Or is this 'Hear Say'???

OK!!! Going out on a Limb here, my Favorite......

Um....

Um......

Um............

Um....................

The 928!!! What a GT Car!!!???? Wow!!! (OK!!! Who's the U-Boat Commander???)

Cheers for sharing these Photo's Andrew!!! Awesome!!!! All the very best for now, cheers,

John.....

Cheers John,
As said, it's probably the best local show in the area so it does attract a few nice cars. Although the Ferrari...I mean Dino...is from Hook. Maybe down here on holiday?

The good thing about this show is that the organisers print a proper programme with all the cars listed. Nice!

Andrew.

Glad I'm not alone in liking the C3, would love to own one of those, look at them regularly on :ebay: , dreaming is free :D
What a great show Andrew, weather & turn out looked superb & the drive there must have been fun too looking at your first picture. That x-pack Escort looked great in yellow, don't see many like that.
Cheers for posting, can we have more pictures next time though ;)
All the best, Rob

Hi Rob,
I tried to limit myself to just a few photos.........and failed miserably!
I've been to this show for the last few years and it's very good. Although the organisers are very strict and don't allow any vehicle movements before the end of the show. Luckily there's plenty of cars to look at. :D
