The MK2 Zephyr was called " True Blue "

I was 8 or 9 years old when I went to my 1st ever " Chelsea Cruise " in that car back in 78 / 79..... It was owned at the time by Dean Edwards from Brockley..... But formally owned by Bill Knight I believe.?:)

[40Stude]

Not to mention Li'l Tuff Nut. Ken Stamps' 32 truck and Jeff Beck's 32 Sedan!

[chopcoupe]

[Brizey]

I remember that show very well. JBs sedan was parked near my roadster, and when it got to about 3pm he wanted to go home so some friends just ripped down the wooden barriers so he could drive out through isles still filled with visiting public... [:O]

[farncombe pop]

Think that was an Escort Van with a 2.0litre and jag rear, and that number plate was on Havoc i,m sure SLY7.

I thought it was Will Hills Mk2, he's still got it.

The red '32 5 window, ninth down on the left, was Alan Butchers, ran a 351 & was a CC cover car at the time

I used to love those big indoor shows Steve. They were a great chance for a winters weekend get together and to checkout all the new cars for that year.

As Ian said, it was Bryan Godbers plate. He used it on most all of his creations from his "Sneaky" trike to "Havoc" and the Escort van...

I used to sell the show guides for those shows, produced & printed by my friend Dave Watts who became the track manager at SPR.

"Show guides, show guides, get your show guides here". Ah brings back memories!!

[1960Zody]

The other one I have is from the Brighton Metropole show...

[lowlight]

Yep one of Mr Becks.

Not only Jeff Becks, but the famous Super Prune, one of the 75 most significant Dueces at the 2007 GNRS. Check out page 58 of Rodders Journal 36 to see what it looks like now.

[BaronVonVVankel]

[Brizey]

Not only Jeff Becks, but the famous Super Prune
One of Jeffs cars Chris, but not the `Prune` which was a golden/bronze colour with stripped flames down the side.
The car at Ally Pally was a totally different sedan. Originally bought over with that salmony/pink and pearl tangerine panel paint job and fitted with chrome wires, it turned up at the show wearing those 10 spokes and white walls...

[40Stude]

it turned up at the show wearing those 10 spokes and white walls...

12 spokes Brian:)
...and a Merc flathead if I remember correctly. Is this sedan the orange hiboy now?

TBH, I can`t remember what motor it had, or what it`s current fate or location is...
