Queen Square July 2017

Post by Andrew 2.8i »

Good morning everybody,
Here are some photos from last weekend's meet at Queen Square, Bristol.
I must say that this was the busiest meet I've ever seen at QS, by 9 AM it was absolutely packed with cars and people.
I haven't posted photos of all the cars, only the ones that we haven't seen for a couple of months, if at all. I hope that you enjoy looking through them.

Where better to start than the Fords?

Beautiful Escort mark 1......

ImageFord Escort RS Cosworth L804PTS by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

Unusual to see somebody use a tree trunk to prop their bonnet open.

ImageFord Escort XR3i Cabriolet F480HGO by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

Stunning!

Falcon. American muscle......er not quite as it's only got a puny 2.7 litre engine to haul a car of that size!

ImageFord Falcon ECD399C by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

Cortinas.

I was quite excited to see this Corolla, but when I got home I discovered that it's registered as a 1.3 GL. It's either a very good GTi copy or there is something dodgy going on.

The best thing about QS is the variety. Everything from immaculate and expensive cars to ratty 944s.

ImagePorsche 944 Lux C299UEW by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

Healey Sprite mark 2......

ImageAustin Healey Sprite 948SKP by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

Non-red Ferraris.

ImageFerrari 458 Italia VNZ4581 by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

Last but not least, some American muscle, starting with this eye-catching Firebird.

ImagePontiac Firebird EOG522K by Andrew 2.8i, on Flickr

I quite like the Viper.

Thanks Andrew,
Nice to see some 'Fast Fords' and 'Hot Hatches' making an appearance :D

Plenty of great Classics there to satisfy any car fan, and some nice American cars too :applaud:

Roll on a hopefully dry September meet...... :wave:

Lucky escape....as you can imagine, it takes a while to copy all the links for the photos and write the text. I'd just clicked submit and almost immediately afterwards the power went off for a minute or two. Phew!

I agree, and it's amazing to think that I've been to QS every month this year, and I'm still seeing brilliant cars that I've never seen before.

Really looking forward to this, hope weather is as good as you had this month.
Great set of pictures Andrew, looks like an escort forum had a meet on :) Big fan of that E21 in silver & that metro ( might be lying about the metro ..)
Cheers for posting, must have taken ages to load.
All the best,
Rob

That was a very nice car, and one I hadn't seen before. Where's that been hiding? :lol:

Fingers crossed for decent September weather and we'll upstage those Escorts!

Thanks very much. I agree that the Crayford Capri is the perfect car to have on a nice summer's morning.
