British Car Day, at Trentham Park this year, allowed Europeans to join in to increase the numbers attending. These were represented by Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, VW, Fiat and a handful of individuals.
 |
| Smart little split window Morrie convertible. |
 |
| A superbly kept Ford Escort. |
 |
| 1951 Armstrong Siddeley Whitley....lovely. |
 |
| A long time since I've seen a Fiat 128. I worked at a Fiat dealership when they were new and were a much nicer drive than the Jappas of that time. Unfortunately, like many cars of that era, they succumbed to the dreaded tin worm ! |
 |
I always found these a nice drive, especially in manual form.
Triumph 2500 TC, a '75 and a '76. |
 |
| The FB Vauxhall Victor was quite popular in NZ, but the estates were not common. |
 |
| Jaguar Mk V....what can I say? |
 |
Another nice Triumph 2500.
This one an "S", first registered in 1978.
The "S" model had all the fittings of the PI (injected) model but with an up-rated carburettor engine similar to that fitted to the TR6 sports car and, of course, the alloy wheels, as shown.. |
 |
One of the supercharged versions of the 4 litre Jaguar V8.
A 2000 XJ-R. |
 |
| Rover P5B didn't get a wash before the event. |
 |
| The VW contingent. |
 |
| 1946 Morris 8 series E has the upright headlamps fitted, which was a common conversion. |
 |
1957 Austin A35 Countryman has had the grille plated or polished and 1098cc engine fitted.
1959 Hillmam Minx series III with 1494ccs. |
