Hi All,

Well, had an early start for this one, me and my mate Jim, but as per usual, got the M25 crap Sat traffic, took ages to get down there, but was well worth it I think.... See what you think???

Here's the view as we pulled into the Car Park...

So, it's a Capri Forum, so lets stick with the Capri's for now, here we go....
Got to Love the Alarm system in this one!!!

Image20160813_114721 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Strange Colour this one, but it sure does work....
Image20160813_114617 by John Taylor, on Flickr

And now for what replaced the Beloved Cortina, the Sierra...
Image20160813_114424 by John Taylor, on Flickr
OK, perhaps not this model, but you get the idea....

Great to see one still supporting the Original 'Lollipop Stick' Wheels...
Image20160813_114517 by John Taylor, on Flickr

These still have Presence on the Road. Even Jim thought so.... That's him reading up on this one...
Image20160813_114155 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Lets move onto the Escorts then and there where plenty there today... Hows about this RS Turbo....
Image20160813_114628 by John Taylor, on Flickr

OK, now for the Older ones, though you wouldn't think so looking at them....
Beautiful RS 1600 I think it was??
Image20160813_113718 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Amazing!!! I also love what they can do with this 'Banding' for the original Steel wheels... Just looks amazing!!!
Image20160813_114000 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Under the Bonnet too....
Image20160813_113942 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Every where you looked, just great....
Image20160813_115547 by John Taylor, on Flickr

This chap had a nice Harris set up, sorry I didn't get a pic...
Image20160813_115344 by John Taylor, on Flickr

OH!!! Another Capri and a Cracking Escort....
Image20160813_115101 by John Taylor, on Flickr

OK, last of the MKI...
Image20160813_115340 by John Taylor, on Flickr

So onto the MKII's...
In amazing style, look at these 2....
Image20160813_115111 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Image20160813_114508 by John Taylor, on Flickr

Well, I think that's it for now, just one last car to show you... But I feel the Sign in the rear Window, is to entice you on to have a go...
Image20160813_120121 by John Taylor, on Flickr

What do you think???
Image20160813_120108 by John Taylor, on Flickr
Is that a Supercharger bolted on the side of the Block??? What an Intercooler!!! Sorry, it's not in the Pic, but it was the width of the car....

Well, all for now, must get some rest for Battlesbridge tomorrow. I'll see if I can post some Pics of that next Week, cheers all for now.
Hope you enjoyed these pics as much as I did taking them.... Cheers,

John....

Hi John.

Wow ! What a stunning turn out of Fords mate. Great stuff.

Well...after some consideration my favourite just has to be that Red 2.0 Pinto Capri mate....it even has a silver rocker cover and K&N air filter just like mine....I love it :wave:

Hey John far too many glorious Fords to start putting them in order...I simply love 'em all :D

Just a shame my dam job has got in the way....again ! Would have loved to have joined you and Jim mate. Thanks for the fantastic pics....they really cheered me up at work right now....

All the best John

Nick....very envious.....

Hi John,
Looked a great show at Boxhill, some truly stunning Fords turned up. As you say, the standard of cars there looked amazing, especially the quality of Escorts. Big fan of that red mk3 cortina too. The blue 2 door is a Ford Taunus P7B made for the German market from late 60s to early 70s, this one looks a stunner, must be very rare over here.
Great pictures, as always, enjoyed looking.
Thanks for posting,
Rob

Hi John,
Looks like you had a great day, definitely worth the pain of an early start!
As you said, there was an incredibly high standard of cars at this meet. All of them are gorgeous!
I really enjoyed looking through the photos, thanks for posting them.

I'm pleased to oblige. It's a Taunus P7.

I'm already looking forward to seeing tomorrow's photos from Battlebridge.....

All the best,
Andrew.

Cracking pictures as ever mate. Love the last Anglia. You don't see many original 'A' plates of any type theses days.
