A classic car show in Heathfield, Sussex, 1976 Blackpool 1985 Like your Dads bikes, Anymore info on the car show in Heathfield? Thats where I live but in 1976 I was minus 3.
No other info I'm afraid, no more pictures either unless any others turn up. I was minus 3 too.

Remarkably the motorbike being piloted in the snow YLR987S is a 736cc Honda, with 68,218 miles at the last mot (expired 19 Jul 2014), is on a sorn and has an export marker on it. Clearly loved by someone, and well ridden if he took it out in the snow that often ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

Thats a great video. Ive seen it before, its just as much about seeing their surroundings when prepping the car as it is about a bit of banger racing. My dad was racing at that time so I thought he might be on there, sadly not. Ive got more photos of banger racing from this time than anything else but hadnt thought to put them up here. Ive got some that tell a story between my dad and the car @23:10 in that video. Tempted....

bit cheesy but some nice old tin on it....definitely "of its time" though. This is a real time capsule!! I've seen this before, '....go on son, go and run amok in the dangerous scapyard! 'Don't come running to me all blue and gasping for breath when you lock yourself in that airtight boot!!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Mum was a hottie too. Edit: IIRC, that was the summer of 76. Anybody who was not around to remember it, think of how dry it has been this summer and how hot it has been so far and it's still nowhere near as hot and as dry as 76. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I stuck my head under standpipes to cool down and sat on blankets draped over vinyl seats in my dads J4 van to stop me burning to a crisp. Those were the days!

Thank you for the film, I remember banger racing in 1976 at Warton Stock Car Club just north of Lancaster. It was that dry we were coughing up breeze blocks in the pub afterwards. Happy days, we must have been mad of the head. A poor picture of a Corsair 2000GT

The great thing about littlepixel's pictures is that they are labelled with where/when.
One of the unlabelled posts that I recognise is Reigate market.

Best thread in ages! These were shown at a history display at Hempstead Valley shopping centre recently. I think that poor girl is midway through a collision.

Car advertising!! You think they tell porkies now? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Who in their right mind would have signed these off as 'fair and accurate representations' of the cars they were trying to sell to the public? That Anglia looks HUGE!! All of them look considerably larger than they actually were and some of the blurbs accompanying many of these types of ads back in the day were blatantly untrue. The fact that these posters/publication ads are designed by hand, drawn by the pens of artists and put together with real panache and flair is the main reason why I spend too much time looking at these time capsules and just loving them. A world that time seems to have forgotten, maybe. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
