Catton Park Car Rally 3.5.09

Festival of transport at Catton Park ( Derbyshire / Staffordshire border ). Comments added for non-experts, I know my cars but not to petrolhead status.

Jaguar Mk2 with nice beige paintwork.

Not really my era!

Ford Consul and Jensen 541

Yank Tank

Austin A105 Westminster

Great in a car chase, until they had to go round a corner.

Sparkly burgundy paint job on a souped up Ford Consul

Plenty of Triumph Stags



Not sure what it is, but it won't fit in my garage.

Ford Gran Torino

Classic? My Mum had three of these - crap.

Simon Templar alert - Volvo P1800

Another, er, 'classic'. The Austin Princess. Nice colour.

Kit car. Good one though.

Bond Bug. A sort of Reliant Robin coupe?



Ford Capri.

More hot-rods.


Mini Coopers.

Rover 3500 (P5) in black.

A camper van with leaded windows?

A sort of Hillman Imp coupe - the Sunbeam Stiletto.

This delivery lorry took a wrong turning into the show.

Can't believe this is 25 years old. ( Ferrari 308GTB )

Various 60's Morris and Austins.

Austin Healey 3000

Sunbeam Alpines

More vintage stuff.

Old Austin.

A New Jersey fire engine

Sure getaway drivers must have been petrified - Ford Anglia


Commer fire engine

Huge American - Buick.

Cracking Frogeye. ( Austin Healey Sprite )


MG Midget ( a rebodied A-H Sprite ).

Mk3 Ford Cortina.


Mrs Builder tries out a Mini - she used to own one in the Eighties.


Er, clueless on motorbikes.

Why would anyone save these for 30 years.

MGB Roadsters.
