Classic Cars
I always like it when I stumble on something serendipitously, and this trip to Newton Abbot was one such occasion. Mrs C and I had no idea that a classic car rally was being held in town, so it was lovely to find these gleaming cars on display.
I often hanker after cars such as these, but I know that the owners spend a great deal of time and money on keeping their vehicles in showroom condition, and I haven’t the time or the expertise.
Long-time followers of my photos might remember that exactly the same thing happened a few years ago, though I think the photos were posted on a different site. If you’ve been around long enough to remember that, thank you very much!
I hope you enjoy the photos. I’m afraid I didn’t note down the makes and models of the cars, although some of the manufacturers will be obvious in the photos.

My mother had a Hillman Minx convertible in the 1960’s. She looked pretty driving in it. However, it was not treated with undercoating so road salt caused the body to rust fairly quickly.
I love a Hillman Minx. Full of character. Thanks for sharing that memory.
Hi Mikey,
Love the photos of those beautiful classic cars. My son-in-law’s Dad is into classic cars and spends inordinate amounts of time tinkering and polishing and generally enjoying himself! The plus side is that his son has learnt a lot about cars and they are now able to cut their car repair bills down to almost zero.
His Dad lives in Tiverton and I was looking out to see if you have captured his beloved cars on camera – he most definitely would have been part of that rally!
Best, Carol
Glad you like the photos. I didn’t post every photo, but I certainly looked at all the cars. Lovely machines.
