After 8mths off the road, Vista Estate is now back on the road and attended her first show at Scampston Steam Fair near Malton last weekend. It was a great event run by Outdoor Shows Ltd. As well as trade stands and rural displays there were classic trucks, fire engines, stationary engines and tractors along with tractor pulling which is mental ! She was joined by other Escorts to make a nice line up in the ring. Mk2 modified Escort Mk2 1600 Sport Mk3 1600i Mk3 series 1 RS Turbo. Outdoor Shows do a lot of events across the North and beyond. Check them out as attendance is free for classics (and cars too) 🤣

Just arrived back home from the epic Scenic Car Tours adventure to 35th Circuit Historique de Laon. There were over 800 cars taking part. "Cortney" performed brilliantly thanks to The Witham Group oils and fluids and has now earned a rest and some TLC. We covered just shy of 1100miles which is amazing for a 58year old Mk1 Cortina 1500GT. Very proud of her! I was spotted at Eurotunnel in France by a Mk1 Cortina member Kev Stone 🤣. Read all about the adventure in the August edition of Retro Ford Magazine and see how this is one event not to be missed by classic car drivers and passengers. The camaraderie and stunning drives through the French countryside and closed road run round Historique Laon was a dream. Big thank you to all the Scenic Car Tours team James Wickenden and Oliver Breeden for inviting me along and Abbeyfields Insurance for sorting out my cover beforehand 👍. Get booking your trip for next year, you will regret not doing it!

Are you calling James a convict? 😁

Ok guys n gals NEC 2026 is on and been committed to by those of us that wat to do it, this is a great show, but last year as with previous years was totally let down by club members, or should i say the lack of them with any interest so please peoples, show your interest and come and see us, once we have a ticket discount code, one of us will post it here its a great show, it really is, and i cant see any excuses when people come from as far as America, so Australia is just a stones throw from us James, see you there

I mistakenly didn't use this sites discount code last year, not realising it counted for you guys so this year I'll be sure to use your discount code

Well done with your progress, it is never ending......there is always something to be doing with a classic.

Note their new telephone number on their banner

it picks up on a bolt head that hold hub to brake disc, and as they are all new wont be a problem.

no con. i purchased the zink one, then had them made in stainless steel, as there would be no rust issues, the weld on bolts, just allow you to remove steering arm bracket without removing brake disc, for futher work. the speed sensor bracket is req to read speed if using another form of dashboard, as i am running DASH2

A man of convictions definitely! You all know how I feel about Chinese car parts!

Still looks like its socialising in a paddock to me? 🤣
