Sports Cars In The Park on Yorkshire Day, and it only rained on the way there and on the way back - what could be better !

I'll post pictures in a couple of batches, there should be something in here for everyone. A really nice collection of cars. I know my favourite because I took 3 pictures of her (and before anyone comments, my kettle is RED - see?).

Some others that took my fancy (and they arent all the brightest and shiniest):

The pale blue fiat - thats just fun on a bun - an absolute riot !
Alfa 75 V6 - I've always liked these diff-gearbox ones since the days of the 1800 Alfetta's
850i - the old one - that was absolutely special.
Honourable mentions:
I'm not a fan of big American lumps, but I've always liked the Mach 1 since I was a teenager and hitched a ride in one that got pulled by the rozzers and left me standing on the side of the road.
Volvo P1800 - one of the prettiest cars ever made imo.

Your turn:

Nice to see the Zeds well represented. Plenty of stunning cars on show, the Esprit steals it for me

Looks to have been a cracking day, with decent weather too.

I'll have to take the McLaren convertible and the Sagaris ( hungered after one when first came out, ) please

I like the Alfa GTV, just like my boss (Fred Sharpe) had back in the day. The old lad could drive it too.

No ! You're wrong ! (sniff). It's red. See ? It says on the tin . . .

Agreed, special cars. I could never afford one when I was younger. Just recently (don't know if its still true), it was reported as the only car Jeremy Clarkson actually owns (not counting his loaner / freebies). And a certain Lamborghini tractor, obvs . . .

Great pics, glad the weather held out. We like the Morgan & the Porsche, the little fiat looks like an absolute hoot & the older 850i gets our vote.

It was an awesome day. The Lotus Esprit was a favourite of mine to
