Today I went to the Selkirk car rally in the Scottish Borders. Going to copy over a massive post I put on another forum and hope it works...
NOTE: I started out identifying all the cars but got bored of doing that it was time consuming to get the dates for the plates so I only ID the 'less obvious' (in my opinion) ones. If there's not IDed you want to know, ask:
Some Leyland Tractors:
Mitsubishi Shogun in mint condition:
MK1 Ford Escort fitted with a V6 engine from a Mondeo ST:
1958 Beardmore Paramount taxi
1968 Austin A60 1/2-Ton Pickup
1968 Morris Minor Fire Engine
1963 Land-Rover 109" Series IIa Fire Engine
1963 Austin Gipsy Fire Engine
1983 Bedford CF Fire Engine
1952 Pontiac Chieftain
1968 Wolseley Hornet
1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
1969 Bond Equipe
I thought this was a Whizzkid but never realised they were around as early as 1972. Turns out that it's a Suzuki Fronte Coupe (a car I never heard of and predecessor of the 'Whizzkid'/SC100)
1963 Vanden Plas Princess 3-Litre:
1977 Vauxhall Magnum 2300
Cool that someone came in a scruffy mid-90s Montego
Really surprised to see one of these (probably nothing special to American/Canadian posters) but here's a Mercury Capri I was so surprised I didn't see the Renault Dauphine:
Some Alvis (I don't know these old models well):
This Cavalier had 18000 miles from new:
Another HIGHLIGHT:
Two Jowett Javelins:
And a Jowett Jupiter:
Some Gilberns:
Including this nice GT:
And an Invader
Riley 4/72
TD Cars 2000 (a Malaysian made MG replica):
Vanden Plas Princess 1750 (a posh Austin Allegro in other words):
Some new cars were displayed by dealers including an unusual 2015 MG6 (destined to be completely uncommon, 65 on plate is new since September):
Swallow Doretti:
Another Swallow Doretti (think this one may have been posted by me on a previous spotting occassion):
Ronart W152:
dsl stuff:
(I only took this one because I was surprised they had Rootes Group on them)
Weirdly there were no Imps (other than a Clan Crusader which I didn't photograph as I saw it last time at the same show), no Beetles/Karmann Ghias/Golfs or no Marinas (there usually is).
