Classic Cars Kwik Kwiz

That's a good point, Frazz, I used to be able to tell a Mk3 Ford Cortina 1600 from a 2000, and an OHV from an OHC just by the sound. I could also tell an Austin 1100 from a 1300. I was a lonely child.

Did you go to the rally @lewis,

So, if this will work, here's a few snaps from today in Goathland.

First, an out of era Mini that someone had done up and bought out on it's first run. He did a great job on it.

It worked! I'll post a few more.


Another of the Mini, with smart Triumph Dolomite Sprint in background.



A Jowett Javelin from the late 40s / early 50s, very desirable in it's day.




Lovely Jag 3.8S-type, plus Austin A40, Riley 4/72, Mini van.



We didn't know what this was, but I couldn't get away from the bloke in the purple trousers all afternoon. He's not me before you ask. Anyway, found out the car is a German Ford Taunus 20M P7.2 XL. Very smart with the wire wheels.



Mini van (again), Taunus, Cortina 1600E, Ford Anglia police car.



Bloke with the purple trousers again, looking at an Austin Cambridge.



Similar to the Austin Cambridge, an immaculate Wolseley 16/60.





Retired to Aidensfield Arms, got ripped off to the tune of four quid a pint. On the bright side, I needed a new beer glass.

So is that where Heartbeat was filmed, I still watch it sometimes


Nice glass

Yes, the village where the series was set. They've done shoots in other places too, I remember seeing them filming in Sandsend near Whitby once.
