As well as trolleybusses there were a lot of classic cars on display. Here are a few examples.
 |
Wolseley Hornet, a variation on the ever popular Mini. This was considered slightly
upmarket as it had extended fin shaped rear wings which allowed a slightly extended
rear boot, plus several other refinements to it's finish.
(Another variant was the Riley Elf which also had the extended boot.)
|
 |
| The rear parcel shelf mascot wasn't an optional extra tho' |
 |
| Time for tea. |
 |
| Ford Popular 103 E. The first car I ever drove, quite basic with a 3-speed gearbox. |
 |
| Trolleybusses where giving rides around the site. |
 |
Austen Cambridge. Another car my father owned and one I really enjoyed driving.
Although it did have a bit of transmission whine! A common fault on front engine,
rear wheel drive cars, that had given a lot of service.
|
 |
| This "Cambridge" had a model mounted on a plinth just above the air intake grill. |
 |
| It also had a couple of important passengers. |
 |
My main reason for taking this was to show the Bush radio in the rear window. We had one
of these when first married.
|
 |
| I've no idea why the candelabra. |
 |
| A Jowett Javelin. |
 |
Jowett Cars Ltd started making cars in 1906 until 1954 and had a
factory in Bradford, Yorkshire.
The Jowett Javelin was made from 1947 until 1953.
|
 |
| This was in the exhibiters car park, maybe not a classic yet but will be in the future. |
 |
| A Panther 2 seater sports car. |
 |
| Very well appointed interior. |
