Write Up Statfold Farm

[Paul Rice]

Really good to get out today, first show of this very strange year. Great turnout of cars with some not normally seen at shows or anywhere else.
Had a ride on a steam train and got to have a close look at the many exhibits in the museum.
Catering very good and the facilities excellent, bit of a pig to find as i took a wrong turn and was late for the short group cruise to the venue.
7 Zeds in our group plus a Nice looking Estoril blue Z3 looked like a facelift sport parked further back.
Great to meet up with fellow zedders hopefully will get further chances this year to meet up

Good line up of Zeds

Something magical about mucky steam trains, even small ones

Really good display, worth a look

A very rare MG indeed MG SVR

A not so rare MG roadster but nice all the same

Something a bit different Chevy stepside

McLaren a true British supercar

From the sublime to the ridiculous Scootercar (built in Leeds)

Worth a visit, 7 miles from the A42/M42 junction. Lookout for more car events there

Cracking day out, really well organized, nice to finally blow some cobwebs off.

That MG looks good! Never heard of the place until Dom's post, looks like a great event to visit with the trains as well.

That’s a nice looking collection of cars and the train pic is fun. Thanks @Paul Rice - I’ll keep my eyes open for future events there. Did Adrian make it there?

Yep Adrian was there in the Z3 but not the Fiji one.

Which did Adrian turn up in @Paul Rice? His daily dark blue Z?

 

[RickyBobby]

Never seen an MGXPower SV-R before - looks like they only made 82

If you like 'a bit of kit' this is the place chaps. Very interesting. War time search light:

The above is a 'Go Go Tractor', a Fordson adapted to run on rails - very popular it appeared!

Wow, looks like I was there after all. Surely that's me on the motorbike.

I Don't have a drink problem, I'm very good at it.

Looks like you had a good day out and the weather played ball too

Was originally the De Tomaso Mangusta MG bought the ailing firm and beefed up the look of the Mangusta a bit with arches etc then stuck MG badges on it you could have a tuned version with over 1000hp running on Nitrus, then MG collapsed before becoming Chinese.

Guy said there were only 16 made when I asked him about it.
A yank tank:

A thoroughly excellent day all round, thanks to Ken forwarding his ticket and midnight conversations with EddieZ to re-arrange his mid morning visit to me thus allowing me to attend. Although the gardens were closed on the day they are apparently spectacular. Worth a visit even with no car event on.

 

[Althulas]

I do like those old Chevy trucks, curvy lines really appeal.
