Hi,

Took a drive down towards ' The Big Smoke ' to Croxley Green for the annual charity car midweek car show. Great turn out with lot's of cars and people. As is now the norm a few cars that caught my eye -

The Scarab sure looks like a 240Z. Maybe the Stag has been converted to steam power. [:D]

Did I see a supercharged Austin A35? IIRC, a friend from long a go built one - it got 90bhp at the wheels. He used MG midget rear axles and they kept 'blowing up'.

Sure is but running a turbo set up based on a Metro turbo, I had an A30 years ago, my grandfathers old car but ex-wife made me sell it [V][:(] so always had a soft spot for them.

Great stuff, thanks John.

I want that MG TC, if only to get that must be imitation moth off the poor thing.

I also want the Sunbeam Talbot, but the engine out of the mustang after it would be nice in it.

I'm a bit worried about that stag. Smoke/steam out of only one side of a V8 can't be good.

So many interesting cars we never got to see out here in the colonies.

Good picks ! Mine was DTY414W although your picture makes the bonnet look a bit pink and patchy ?

Great Evening though. Wife and I got there about 4pm and stayed till about 9pm. Lots of decent burn outs as people left. Had to join in of course !


If it isn't broken, I can still fix it

Great pics! What a variety; that looks like it was a fun show.
The Doretti and that black Jaguar are my favs of that bunch.
What is that red sort-of-wedge?

Hi,

That would be an AC 3000ME, the same guy's that brought us the Ace which Carrol turned into the Cobra. Powered by a Ford 3L V6, hence the 3000 and mid mounted, the M.E. is for mid engined, and features a Austin Maxi gear train in a custom case. A rare car in that just over 70 were built between 79 - 84
