Shepperton Classic Ford June 17...

Hi All,

Another cracking morning today and found on the internet that there was a Ford Gathering at the Shepperton Breakfast meet... Totally forgot about the Queen Sq, Ops!!! But, this was still a great small gathering of a few Fords... So here goes...

I managed to park up next to a couple of Great Lookers!!!

I got a bit carried away with this one. But this was an amazing motor, look at the size of those Throttle Bodies.... Obviously a lot of work has been carried out on this...

A Nice Lotus Cortina.... I do love these Air Boxes... Teracotta (I fuckin hate 2.8i's) Glyn, I think it was pointed out to me these where standard on these motors...

Some of the Yank Tanks where a bit on the Large size for the spaces!!! :xd: :xd: :xd:

Or is it a Very Early SUV???

A Very nice Anglia...

Slight Engine Mod as is all the rage now for these....

Some Engine Bays would make even Nick green???

This was particularly nice...

See what I mean...???

Always think of James (Roger.) Bond with these.... Especially the Car FUBAR... Goes into the Ally on 2 wheels and comes out on the other 2 wheels!!! OPS!!!!

Not too sure if Nick would like the HT Lead holder though???

A Nice 2.8i also pulled in...

And finally, a nice family run around...

Hi John.

What a brilliant little meet mate. Well found old chap ! Looked fantastic weather too.

Jeepers that blue Mk2 Escort is bleedin stunning mate...stunning !! Yep I am green with envy after seeing a few of those engine bays. Incredible standard....although not too sure about those ht lead 'holders' on that Capri pretending to be a 1.6 :lol:

Wow ! That airbox on the Lotus Cortina certainly commands the engine bay dont it just :shock:

Great to see a few Capri's fella. You say you parked up alongside some great lookers...bet the owners of those cars were saying exactly the same about your superb Special John.

Great pics John. Nice one. I am just going down to polish my engine bay now :crying: and wax my ht lead clips :lol:

All the best

Nick

Hi John,
Well, it certainly looks like you had a great morning, what a superb selection of cars! Of course your car looks as gorgeous as ever.
I see that the EFi Laser managed to get from London to Manchester and back on one tank of fuel.....a little less thirsty than the 2.8 methinks! :lol:

Great meet John, setting looked good & weather even better. It's amazing how good certain colours look in the sunshine, like that pale blue mk2 escort, it looked stunning. Nice to see some unusual cars like that '33 Ford hot rod you parked near & that American estate whose owner needs some parking lessons.. :D
Cheers for sharing.
