Nasbey classic car show - Tony Betts - 06-09-2020

As there is a little bit of sunshine thought I'd have a drive out to the naseby classic car show.

Around a 1 hour drive each way in the seven.

But some nice back lanes through south kenilworth.

A nice show, but not as big as the A47 show.

Over 250 cars over 100 motorcycles. Plus tractors and steam engines etc.

A total of 2 sevens including my own. 

   

Sorry I'm having trouble loading some of the pictures. Come up as pictures to big.

Here a nice Stanley steamer that pulled in next to me.

   

A nice turn out for pre war morris cars.

There were 4 in total.

   

   

I know some of you boys like to see your cars in miniature.


   

My own favourite in show was between this fair ground set up.

   

And this usually nice servicing tranny van.

For those in the usa, tranny may not mean the same thing Huh 

   

I always fancied bringing one of the la france fire engines back from the states.

The rear chain drive always looks good as a speedster.

   

Plenty of interest in military vehicles as always.

   

Even a delorean.

All in all a nice day, with a nice drive at each end of it.

Tony.

Nice pics Tony. Thanks for posting them.

If you really want a LaFrance there is one on ebay - in the UK. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMERICAN-WARD-LA-FRANCE-14LTR-6CYL-1923-VINTAGE-NEEDS-FINISHING-NICE/264853933511

You could strap an A7 on the tail -  like a dinghy on a big boat!
