Classics

 After helping at a race in Fife on Sunday, we travelled two miles north..to a very large field.. full of pre 1999 vehicles of every kind....




















We saw this 1948 Ford car next to us in the parking field..


And afterwards I went with Pirate for a ride on my 1948 vehicle.....

Oh how neat to see that "high rider" (I don't know what they really are called!) The bike where you sit above a huge wheel and tiny back wheel. I may have mentioned looking for another car these days, so today when at my mechanics getting one checked out, I saw a 75 Jaguar dark green with beige interior (sedan), looking really nice, but of course not for sale, just parked there. And the guy at the desk had on a Triumph T-shirt, so I had to ask if he'd ever owned one...yes a 78 I think he said. I said my first motorcycle ride had been on a Triumph behind the man I later married.

In the pics, car 432 YUS looks like it's French - do you know its make?

Good selection of old bikes there too. Were they from the Veteran-Cycle Club of which I am a member? (My shed once contained a 1948 Raleigh Record Ace, which I bought from its original owner in 1957. Plus a 1959 Rudge Gents Roadster - again bought from its first owner

You 1948 vintage bike looks superb. You should join the V-CC if you are not already a member.

What a neat way to spend an afternoon. Lots of great vehicles of all sizes and shapes, although it's a bit disconcerting to think of these as 'old cars'.
My older brother drove a i949 Ford while he was in college. Of course it was American made so it looked a bit differed.
