Talk Morgan Forums Community General Photo Gallery Brit and Euro car show Auckland

A lovely warm, not too sunny, day for the show.
A grand total of over 800 cars presented.

That looks like a great show and 800 vehicles that is a big one.

Some lovely cars there thanks for sharing your with us.

Interesting show, sorry I missed you Nigel, there was a large turnout at the fifth anniversary caffeine and classics the week before as well.

Stunning!

Usually try to get to the Caffeine and Classics, but committed to the show.
Will miss thevnext two months as well!
End March we are off to Wings over Wanaka
End April will be in Japan.
Unemployment is damn expensive! Well strictly speaking employed by the government now. Aka retirement

Interesting... Can you identify a couple of these? What is the black single-seater - Delage? What is the blue 'Bugatti'? (It doesn't look quite right!)

The dark coloured one is a recent recreation of a Bugatti type...
The blue Bugatti is the real thing with a Jaguar XK120 engine installed I believe in the early 50's by the Roycroft family.
Both seen running in a hillclimb last month.

Interesting - thanks.

I suppose one day someone with a tall stack of spare cash will convert this Buguar/Jagatti back to full Bugattiness with a Pur Sang engine.

Memory coming back, the dark one is a recreation of a Type 59/50s 1935 apparently a T54 engine in a T59 chassis

The proper blue one is a 1925 Type 35A raced in the UK in the 20s and thirties coming to NZ in 1947 .
A number of people from Europe have visited the Roycrofts over the years to try and purchase various Bugattis and parts particularly in the late 80,s

The black car is a fascinating concoction. I bet they are both pretty quick.
