Classic cars on the sea front

Post by stonehead887 » Sun Jul 02, 2017 10:26 am

So continuing on from what has turned out to be an ace weekend with my Dad, we ended up at this car show near the beach. Some lovely cars. A rare Opel Commodore, classic Fords, huge Caddy with flattie, Ferrari Dino, Vauxhall, Triumphs and Rover P6 and all time fave the Mini.
This is one of the best weekends I have had with my dad for a long time

That Cadillac is awesome. I'd guess that is a rare sight over there.

Most of the cars here are rare now. In the UK the govt have tried scrappage scheme for old cars. I must admit, got the wants now for a classic car. Got 5k in reserves for an Omege AT 15k gauss or IWC Ingeniuer but cars are looking more fun at the mo.

Awesome. I remember my dad having a Ford Anglia, and my first car was a Mini (a proper one!)

Where was this? Looks a bit like Cromer pier.

That was my dream car in my twenties, but ended up with a customised Beetle instead.
