I went out yesterday to classic car boot sale at Kings Cross so thought I’d share. It was set in the redeveloped area around Kings Cross with loads of cool old industrial buildings and obviously the new Kings Cross Station and St. Pancreas. The premise was a mixture of vintage style traders and classic cars and personally I thought it worked really well as my gf loves vintage stuff and I love cars. This was made 100x better by the weather being glorious on Sunday. I’ll post a few pics below and leave the link to my photobucket album if you want to go through the rest! So day started with arrival at 8.30am and parked up right in the thick of things…  This drove in behind us then parked up  Breakfast from the cool Mk2 Transit Ambulance before the site opened  Washed down with a coffee from here  Cool Commer  2002 Touring  Jensen   This Merc was awesome photos don’t do it justice  2 door Cortina  Lunch From this GMC  I loved this 911 probably not helped by some of the posts on here!    Cool Mustang   This merc just pipped my XR3i as youngest car  Loved how jacked up this is!  Another Porsche that I loved   Really nice Renault 4. I really like the slightly rusty headlight, I think it sets off the face  Another Face… although not a car!  Got a bit busier!    And as promised if you’ve got this far have a look at my album for some more pics s798.photobucket.com/user/westycapri/library/Classic%20Car%20BootyCheers Josh |

fabulous! Thanks for posting these up, looks like a brilliant event. Is it a regular thing or was it a 'one-off'? Couldn't resist posting this from your album, right at the top of my 'want one' list of cars.....  |

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Couldn't resist posting this from your album, right at the top of my 'want one' list of cars..... Yeah it was great absolutely perfect as I said in the earlier post I got to look at the cars and she got to look at some tat. She managed to buy this bad boy... I mean what more do you want than a porcelin poodle handled brush.  I got speaking to the owner of the 260z, he was a nice chap and this had only just been imported. I hadn't realised there was a 240, 260 and 280z before chatting to him. It was really nice, I love the shape of them and the wheels, soooo cool. |

Couldn't resist posting this from your album, right at the top of my 'want one' list of cars..... Just realised I didn't answer your question... They seem to do them a couple of times a year and at different venues (Southbank is the other one in London). Have a look on the website classiccarbootsale.co.uk/ By showing the car I managed to get free entry then early access to all the traders. Would recomend it as a cool way to spend the day (especially if you or your other half likes vintage stuff) |
