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.....
What a wonderful array of vehicles.
ReplyDeleteI love studying old vehicles.
ReplyDeleteQuite a display amassed there.
ReplyDeleteSo many vintage vehicles, I think I like the motorbikes the best

ReplyDeleteHaha! Your bicycle was born the same year I was!
ReplyDelete...does that make me a classic?
I can remember when many of them were regulars on the road!!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteIn the pics, car 432 YUS looks like it's French - do you know its make?
ReplyDeleteGood 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'.
ReplyDeleteMy older brother drove a i949 Ford while he was in college. Of course it was American made so it looked a bit differed.
Avus it is a Hotchkiss 486
ReplyDeleteI see you did the 'vintage thing' too! we were in Kirkcudbright and went to their vintage rally - there is something about gorgeous old vehicles ❤️
