old chelsea cruise cars

[Guest MK1gaz]

Who remembers the mk1 escort van which used to go up the chelsea cruise back in the day which was red and covered in funny chrome patterns with fairy lights all over it ?

[X-pack-Glyn]

Nope.

 

But a i do remember a mk5 cortina, brown metalic that had a sterio so loud it split dodgy spot welds on my escort that was parked next to it

 

i also remember the REAL checlea cruise before some arsehole decided to turn it into a money making venture and charge a fiver per car to get into the park, before that happened it was awesome!

Also remember him getting it sideways on the roundabout outside the shell garage, and thinking "thats the car thats in Fast Ford"

 

Used to go up there in my mates 72 Cadillac coupe de ville, he had an illuminated "V" in the grille and illuminated confederate flag number plates.

Memories, memories, one I was taliking about to an old mate the other day was standing on the Garage wall by the bridge, with the likes of Nick Arlett, Ray White and a few others, taliking to a Policman sitting side saddle on his NEW BMW bike when whenone of two sons of a well known Ford performance engine Family from the other side of croydon decided he would pull a plug lead off the bike, When the Copper started his bike, it was obviously on one cylinder, he did no more than switched it off and called for Recovery, much to our amusement I was seen going past the pub about 20mins later outside the Pub on the back of a lorry

2 vans for the older ones on here, The Anglia van, Disco Trucker, Balderchinnos Anglia Van with Arches, black prespex side windows, Red and White Pearl lacework, fogged pannels and 8" Revos with Dunlop Racing Tyres, Missippi Shuffle, a Corvair Window Van painted by Ray Mumford which was the shop van for Eureaka Painting in Deptford Arches, Mumford went on to paint many many top Murals in the 70s, other cars like Henry Hirise, Hot and Bothered many more Like Alpherbet Alexes Model A.

Fook I am Feeling old now.
