Retro Truck Show
on: August 27, 2012, 10:05:15 AM
Saw this advertised as 15 & 16 September, there is also a Model Show and trade stands in the exhibition centre.
BUT have just looked on the Gaydon site and it seems the show is only on the Sunday.
Unless you know different. :rolleyes:

well, another great show, although quite a lot of modern stuff on show, the model show was small but well organised, and some great stuff on show

Ians excellent little RENAULT rebuild a work in progress

he wouldnt keep still for the photo  :rolleyes:

an excellent daf wrecker with all scratchbuilt gear, ithink this was built by David March, the organiser of the model show


a nice little f16 by David Cassell, sorry about your mirror mate :cry:

some more by David, the Atki will be in bassetts livery

lovely streamline also by David

nice little load of DAF cabs for export, (sorry , didnt get builders name)

Gareth May was also there with a nice collection, but i was too busy gassing and forgot to take photo,s, he,d been burning the midnight oil the friday before the show to get stuff finished, and Tony (volvotony) was also there but again i forgot to take photo,s :lipsrsealed:
the model show was very good though and could go on to be as big as the classic show, so well done to the organisers
the trucks outside where great, i,ll post a link, sorry if there a bit VOLVO and SCANIA heavy, couple of favourettes




this one i would love to build just as it is :cheesy:



the rest are here;

Great photos and comments Gordon - thanks a lot.

A little too far to travel for this one, yet once per year to Gaydon doesn`t feel enough.
