I took a drive to Trentham Park today for the British Vehicle Day, with the theme this year focusing on V8s.
 |
Daimler V8 saloon (that's the Mk2 Jag body) with manual/overdrive transmission.
Quite rare in Daimlers. |
 |
One of Jaguars nicest looking efforts ever. the XJ6 4.2 coupe.
Also produced as a V12. This one is a 1977 model. |
 |
LTI (London Taxis International) FX4S Taxi.
I thought this model used the 2495cc Land Rover diesel engine, but rego details put it as a 2 litre. |
 |
| 1957 Wolseley 15/50. A very nice example. |
 |
Three Leyland P76s.
The middle one was originally purchased new by the father of a friend of ours who is now in his mid 80s. |
 |
Another threesome.
The Ford Anglia was popular with elderly owners and with young men who mostly drove them, considerably modified. |
 |
"Capri 2.8 Injection Special".
Is that a record for the longest model identification badge. |
 |
| Triumph's GT6, with the 6 cylinder Triumph 2000 motor was developed from the Spitfire, which was in turn developed from the Herald. |
 |
| The Vitesse was also developed from the Herald, firstly with a 1600cc 6 cylinder and later with the 2000cc 6 cylinder. |
 |
| The Michelotti designed Triumph Stag was popular, but proved unreliable, mostly due to rushed assembly in Triumph's factory at that time. |
 |
| The P4 model Rovers are probably not the easiest classic to maintain, but certainly exquisite to drive. |
 |
| This Riley shows off its large diameter front brakes, friction front dampers and crank handle attachment. |
 |
| The little 1929 Austin 7 actually makes this 1999 TVR Chimaera look even smaller |
 |
| A very smart example of a 1959 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire. |
 |
Not a model I've seen often.
A 1936 Wolsely 14/56 |
