Gaydon

Post by Jervint » Sat Aug 20, 2016 2:44 pm

Gaydon was a really great event and can't believe I've never made it there before. I'm a huge BMW nut but I'm not posting every pic I've got as there's rather a lot!

Starting things off was this rather familiar concourse C2 2.7...

That's a 2 grand steering wheel...

The original Huey in Grasmere Green...

Image

With matching Luey the Lion!

Image

Great plate!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Lovely colour...Calypso or Canyon Rot I think

Image

Yas Marina is a worthy successor to Estoril...

Image

Image

A lovely Alpina in a great combination of colours

I would not have guessed although thinking about it I didn't see the Alpina emblems or rhombs on the leather so that makes sense.

She's a beaut Brett!

Can't resist posting one of mine...

One of the best looking cars there...

Image

One of my favourite motors there...Dave's Messing Metallic V8S Touring. What a stonker...I really love this car and after seeing this in the metal I came very close to buying am E46M convertible in the same colour. Love Messing!

BMW pornography!

Image


Image

Kos who had Pukar Designs owns this immaculate 'better than new' beauty..

Image

Image

Amazing plate and car combo!


Image

Fair play, for a phone they're pretty good shots.

Image

Image

Gawjus!

Image

Image

Image

Interior of the Messing estate...green leather is very Marmite! Love the wood too.

Image


Image

Image


Image

Image


Image

This won best engine bay...only two components were replaced and one was washer bottle...

Image

And the interior. ..

Image


Lovely big wheels on E53. Should've bought the wifes down!

Image

Lovely rims. Hated these in 2001 but they have become one of my favourite wheels of all time. This colour accent suits the body so well and an E46M in that red is very rare and very classy.


Image


Image

Another gorgeous set of wheels...

Image

This E24 got a lot of attention and sounded unreal.

Image

Lovely retrimmed E46M interior on Estoril

Image

Excellent Sapphire Black M5 estate with oxblood leather


Image

Image

Superb 540i with newer style Schnitzers. Type 9 I think he said. Super super clean throughout

Image

Weird MG supercar called the EXE. As well as using the same 6R4 engine as the XJ 220 it looked remarkably similar.


Image


Image

I was tempted to do this on my 540!


Image

Better...

Image

Estoril E31...heaven.

Image


That's it for now gents. Hope you enjoy.

There's a nice one in that last batch ...no matter how many you take it's not enough though. I could easily take 20 photos of a car I like but my back and knees prevent me!!

Missed the old B7 too...
