A thread of pix from today's Auto Classico car show in Canterbury. Way too crowded to see cars properly. Or even ID some of them. This was meant to be a Euro show but it was Euros and a bit of everything else. All the streets near the show were crammed with classics.

You could just wander the streets for a good perve

The main street was blocked off, and there were people eeeverywhere
So this is shooting as I could, between people, to try capture some of the ones there.
I would like to take all the Bambinos home with me
Who doesn't love a 356?

Perhaps some German?

The dudes guarding this Jag were freaking out anyone might touch it 😀 I think it's a trailer queen and is never run
Lots of British cars there too

Found the Lotus club in the crowd
Historic Rally club were exhibiting too.
Found the VW club.
That Volvo rally car I suspect has had an exciting life, had mention of rallies in Kenya on it.
Found the only Audi, a 1986 UR Quattro from NZ
It's not often to come across a Jensen here, unless their club is exhibiting, and then it's lots all at once.
Some more VWs. Found a poster for the VW show in November
Lovely to see a variety of British cars and a sneaky Fiat
Damned shame it was so busy, to try get some decent shots of these.

And so ever though it's advertised as a Euro show, the Holden club was there as well? And the ambulance museum?

Behold, the sole French car at this Euro show - a Simca!
So more Euros and Holdens? And the sole Borgward, another rarity.

Random Lambo and I think the race car is there to promote that class of racing.
It was way too crowded so we wander back to get Harry. And spotted this interesting import. @tikibunnyimports might like this Mazda Familia GTR!
We located Harry again, safety chains activated and all, and decided to wander the streets around the show to see what else was lurking in a parking spot.
Turns out, quite a few little treasures!
That Bug has been converted to EV! Saw it at the VW show last year.

Other people were cruising around the show too

God I love Bambinos, so adorable.

Some more cars spotted whilst doing blockies
All kinds of interesting cars turn up for car shows

Oh one addendum to this thread. So as we were cruising about the streets looking at parked cars, we were waved at. My other half went to toot in reply and the horn would not stop! Had to yoink the wires off the horn. Shall grind the rivets off it and see what went wrong. A new horn has arrived and is in Harry now.
Not bad though. We've put a couple hundred km on him and the only things that have gone wrong are the points (now electronic ignition) and the horn.

That looks like a MG with a front end change to me?
@vwdasher @Basmitharts the Sprite wiki mentions Lenham too

And fronts were easy to change
Not nearly as attractive IMO, but definitely more aerodynamic.
