North Devon Sports and Classic Car Club hit Ilfracombe
A report by The Merlin
Sunday 5th August started off with mixed weather but the die hard members of the North Devon Sport and Classic Car Club are made of strong stuff and they were determined to show their cars off no matter what the weather threw at them.
When I arrived on the scene only a handful of cars had taken their places at the foot of Ilfracombe's Capstone Hill, but even these were of an extremely high standard. I was very impressed with the pairing of a Triumph Herald Estate Car and a small white caravan, a combination that looked absolutely stunning.
Other fine examples on site were a brace of Triumph Stags, a Ford Cortina Mk 1 Dragster Estate car, a couple of canary yellow "Funny Cars" and a superb example of an early 1960s Vauxhall Velox
Sadly, owing to other commitments I did not get to see many more arrivals so I am looking forward to the next chance I will get to see these marvellous machines in Barnstaple Pannier Market in November.
