Festival of the Unexceptional 2015

Post by S10NPH » 25 Jul 2015 06:52 pm

I took along my 1980 345 to the second Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional today. It was a really great show, full of some interesting ordinary cars. Here are some pics:

This mk3 Escort was in the car park and had some hilarious rust 'repairs' (i.e. paint over it and hope no-one notices)

Smart Cavalier hatch:

This 1979 Mk2 Escort was delightfully standard, and was the show winner:
