Lude Generation

Thought some of you would be interested in seeing these.

The show is massive these days, much bigger than last time I went a good few years ago. I only got to see about half of it properly and didn't get to look round the autojumble at all and just glanced past the auction area. Planning on doing 2 days there next year with a night out in Brum on the Saturday night

VERY limited on jap stuff unfortunately, but still lots of good stuff to look at.

Apologies, some of the pics are jobby quality but the lighting in there is absolutely terrible, really dim and crap yellow tinge so it's difficult to take any decent pics with a phone or camera, plus loads of people so difficult to get far enough back to get a clear shot of the cars.

Here's the first load, taken with my phone and in no particular order.

Impressive car, truly awful colour.



So there probably was an H22 at the show Remember watching these race

Nice velour in this Princess and look, an 'economy' meter!



Love these. Gorgeous!



Fast Vauxhalls



Delorean Owners Club had a well cool and professional stand. This vinyl poster was massive and really well put together.

Possibly the coolest car ever built of course, thanks to a certain film.



This was an interesting beast... No, your eyes aren't decieving you, that's a Cosworth lump and yes it is installed at an angle for some reason!





Liked this a lot, too:




Engine in an ancient and rare british amphibious army vehicle (that I've forgotten the name of )

And a sectioned version of it - original training aid created by army apprentices.


Lotus goodness



This stand smelt absolutely fantastic, thanks to oil and petrol leaks galore

Also lotus mucho fun goodness




Gas turbine-electric powered MG-F. Interesting, but a hell of a lot of work for I'm not sure much gain?

Custom made control electronics for the motors.


Batteries an' stuff in the front

forgotten what this was. It's an engine of some description!


Quite like Stags




A very rare beast! And I like it... V8 supercharged MG monster


Another rare MG V8 beast;




Superchared from a different era


Concept car, completely forgotten what though But thought it was
EDIT: Remembered, now, it was a TVR concept that was Peter Wheeler's personal car for a couple of years. It was rescued from the back lot in Blackpool after they went under, in a bad state and was restored. Lovely car.

Will get some more up later when I can be arsed to download the camera. There are a couple of jap things on there.

The Accord didnt use the H22 since Touring cars were 2.0 class. But they used a VTEC F20 engine.

Some sweet rare cars there.
