Walton Bridge Breakfast Club, Sunday 3rd Dec, Last one of 2017....
Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2017 11:49 pm
Hi All,
Well it was a wet cold start to the day on Sunday, but as this was the last meet for this Year, as in previous Years I had already decided I was going to get along to this meet again, as it always can surprise!!! So off I went in the Cappa. (Freshly washed the night before!!!) I'm very happy I did too, as there was quite a lot there for such a crappy day, admittedly there was no where near the numbers of classics you get on a Hot Summer morning of course, but still a lot had decided to brave the weather and show up, so here we go with a few pics of the morning...
We'll start with Kris's Capri, already Winterised.....

Wearing the Winter wheels AND the Winter front bumper!!! Now that's dedication!!! There were only the 2 Cappa's there and I totally forgot to take a pic of mine, but Kris did have a look at her And I got a Christmas Card under the wiper when I eventually got back to leave, from Ash, the chap who arranges this meet, I think it was a way of saying thank you for bringing out a classic for the last Meet, a very nice gesture!!!
Ash, if your reading this, mine was the Lacquer Red Capri injection... Cheers fella, Happy Christmas....
So, lets stick with the Fords a little longer... A very nice Cortina...

A very striking Escort...
20171203_094649 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Another stunning Escort...

Sticking with the Escorts a little longer....

I still love these MKII RS2000's....
20171203_095421 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Another Ford which may have given one or two of us a lift somewhere other than home in the day... Just the wrong side of the Pennines for me, Phew...
20171203_095216 by John Taylor, on Flickr
This was Stunning by the way....
A couple of Fords which may get you home quicker....
20171203_095239 by John Taylor, on Flickr
So off the Fords now and on to something completely different now. Hows this for a Rare Fiat 850???
20171203_095207 by John Taylor, on Flickr
A stunning little motor and a really nice chap who owned it...
Lets keep with the Sporty rare cars for a min or two, a very nice Jensen Healey...
20171203_094637 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Hows this for a rare sporty little number then???
20171203_094145 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Well done for keeping this in such amazing condition... Brilliant!!!
Heres a Blast from the past.... These were, sorry are Great cars.... Possibly THE original Hot Hatch??? Comments welcomed below!!!
20171203_093956 by John Taylor, on Flickr
How about a change of pace and we'll have a look at a couple of British Rag Tops then...
20171203_095457 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Bet you weren't expecting that???
An actual Midget...
20171203_095048 by John Taylor, on Flickr
I had forgotten how small these actually are!!!
OK, not a Rag Top, but very nearly!!! Great little motors...
20171203_093948 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Another Brit for you here. Not too sure what to call this one???? Tell you what, lets go with XJS Eventer
20171203_092259 by John Taylor, on Flickr
These two looked a little lonely on their own, but you can now appreciate how BIG the new Mini actually is...
20171203_093627 by John Taylor, on Flickr
No, Well check this one out then???
20171203_093832 by John Taylor, on Flickr
An Alfa.... Wow.... One of two I saw there, but missed the chance to take a pic of the other one... Ops!!!
20171203_093846 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Ops, I missed this chap out in the Ford section at the top of the page, but still well worth a pic...
20171203_094508 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Hang on!!! I did get the other Alfa.... And a few others too to boot...
20171203_094049 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Lets finish off on an Austin All-Agro, with bust suspension!!!!
20171203_105926 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Oh, hang on, its Not bust and it's only half Austin All-Agro. It's based on a Bettle....
20171203_103147 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Well, this was my Sunday morning, I had a Great catch up with Kris and a good few Hours wandered away.... Roll on next Years meets, shows, gatherings etc...
Merry Christmas everyone!!!! (Am I the first to do that here this Year??? Sorry!!! Only the 5th....) Cheers for now, happy motoring, all the very best everyone,
John...
