Classic Assessments Events IWM Duxford Spring Car and Motorcycle Show
A good turn out of cars, but not many motorcycles. The weather was great with clear blue sky, just right for the vintage aircraft flying over. A good display of Ferraris would have been more interesting if the majority wasn't from the 1990's! The best and most interesting for me was a lovely dark blue 250GT Berlinetta with the short wheel base Pininfarina body. Lovely lines. There were a lot of late 90's and even younger models from various makers and manufacturers, which, if I had paid to get in. would have disappointed me slightly. However, the organisers are looking to limit the age to pre 1985 for exhibitors ( hopefully ) in the future. On the 'local' Jaguar Enthusiasts Club stand was a nice Jaguar Mk X. The largest or widest production vehicle produced in Britain, survivors are rare and examples are seldom seen. The vehicle of the event for me was a very nice Alvis TD21 Drophead from the late 50's in dark red, with magnolia interior. Well engineered, superb 3 Litre 6 cylinder engine, traditionally built and well mannered on the road. Classic, Classy and British! Duxford Museum is such a good place to visit too. Pic. 1. Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta.
