Weekend of cars and Planes

[Brithunter]

This Saturday just gone there was a Rover 75/MG ZT owners club meeting held at Imperial War Museum Duxford and on Sunday it was te Pistons & Props dayy at The Lincolnshire Aviation Centre East Kirkby and I toddled off over there for the afternoon. Here are a few photos from thos events:-



This is the new acquistion a Rover 75 Classic SE CDT Automatic. The engine is the BMW M47C 2 litre diesel unit and it's job will towing.









The dark tourer (Estate/station wagon) is in a special flip/poly chromic paint that changes colour depending on light and angle viewed.



Rover also offered a range of Duo Tone colour schemes and this is just one of them.





This Spitfire is just beside the two silver cars posted earlier.



Now this one is one of the rarer 2 seater versions ...................... Spitfire.











Just a few more from Duxford.

And now some from East Kirby where there were many makes of cars and customs as well:-



Ford 100E Prefect ....... I had a std 1960 version of this in White as my 1st car some decades back. Std engine was an 1200 SV that produced a claimed 10HP (36 bhp) and was coupled to a 3 speed manual box





Love the colour of this and even the shape and style ................. it is a TVR not sure which model though.



P41 Curtis Kittyhawk



Steerman?



P51 Mustang of course ...................... with "Just Jane" the AVRO Lancaster in the background. :D





And my Rover 75 ................... the colour is pearlescent metalic called Copperleaf Red.

Great shots!! Thanks for the post.  I think the first foreign car other than a beetle I ever saw was a Prefect.  Nice,  8-)

Don't think there is a barf emote...

The P40, Spitfire and most other noticeables of the day had one major issue.....the bulkhead behind the pilot made looking to the rear impossible. The Mustang fixed all that.
