Cumbria Classic.

[Stormin 4,458]

 

   Today was the first Cumbria Classic for two years. Held at Dalemain House, near Penrith Cumbria. UK.

 

   Eldest grandson, his wife and great grandson are over from Cyprus for a couple of weeks. Liam persuaded me to go, as I'd not been for a number of years. So the four off us had an afternoon there.

   There were 419 entries plus club displays totalling a further 206 entries. There was cars, motorcycles, 4x4s, vans, military plus campers and caravans along with trade stands etc.

  To much to photograph, but below is a selection.

 

 

 

 

 

Land Rover based Tomcat. 3.9 V8.

 

 

 

Morris 1000 Traveler. I had a 1966 model that I dropped a 1500 Wolseley engine in.

 

 

Morris 1000 convertible. SWMBOs ream car. And she can keep on dreaming.

 

 

 

 

This would do me if I could afford the fuel. Just the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

 

I haven't seen one of these for years.

 

Austin Champ with Rolls Royce engine as standard. Will go backwards as fast as it will go forwards.

 

 

 

This Standard Vanguard pickup is the only one I have ever seen. Me want!

 

Ford Anglia. Had one with a Cortina GT 1600 stage 2 tuned engine. Shocked quite a few at the traffic light GP.

 

 

Another I once owned. Triumph Vitesse with 1600 straight 6.

 

 

 That's all folks.

I'll have the Bentley - always fancied one.
I too had a Vitesse 6  1600 and always thought it was a much sweeter and better revving engine than the later 2000 or 2500.
