2016 IOW classic car show

Post by Dean » Sun Sep 18, 2016 7:34 pm

Been to this over the weekend and it was a great event again as usual, here are a couple of photo's, didnt see any Citroens again, apart from one that is!

Also took this with me both days after fitting a new head gasket and doing some general fiddling this summer

Then there was my personal favourite of the show which is fairly sad considering the wide array of metal on display

Also a worthy whatsthisthen? candidate

Xm looking good Dean. Did it get much interest?

I complete agree with you about the Fulvia. Lovely little things. There's two that I see often round here. It's also I think one of the greatest missed opportunities of recent concept cars. The Lancia Fulvia concept from 2003. That should have been made. Crying shame.


Poor little Allagro.

I Love the Fulvia, sounds amazing and just looks great.

The XM gets a lot of attention, note the trampled grass around it and it was parked in an obscure corner of the show as i arrived late after taking the Ford down first.
There are three reactions it gets, either "we had one of them, its Xantia isnt it?...............an XM!?" OR "look at that Cool old Citroen" and finally "wow whats that? a Citroen!", It really goes down well which is why i keep taking it.
