Me too Baron! That's yours truly at the end eyeing up the magnificient green Stingray and wondering if I could miniaturise it! I had the very same as a die-cast toy as a kid in gloss green just like it! Happy days!
It was a fab day out thanks Paul and the old mine setting was brilliant, now set up for events like this. Yes, the DeLorean is a brilliant design and forever associated with Marty McFly!
I'd love to know the make. I remember it was much larger than Dinky etc and quite detailed. It may have been from the continent, we used to go to Belgium a lot when I was young, an aunt lived there.
Wow - I was actually more intrigued by the old mine buildings - how cool they are! But as for the cars, I'll take the Karmann Ghia and the Studebaker, please! SFZ
Yes, deep minings all but gone in Germany SF, like the UK. In the Ruhr Valley the cities do a great job keeping the old mine buildings safe and usable, part of their industrial heritage.
What a selection! Personally I think the 1972/3 model Corvettes were the last great styling phase of the Stingray marque. I was sort of expecting to see a BMW Isetta on display too!
Lots of beautiful cars there, lots of nostalgia, but I'd kill for one of those +-1970 Corvettes.

DeleteI own a mid-70's Corvette. Be careful what you wish for!
DeleteOh Wow Cap! Send us a snap!
DeleteThat looks like a great day out, and a very interesting coal mine. Lovely buildings.
ReplyDeleteThe DeLorean tops my list, followed by the older, 1950s cars.

DeleteI quite like the Citroën DS. I had a big friction drive one as a kid. In the inspired colour choice of grey!
ReplyDeleteWow, I wonder what make that was Kev? Telsalda, Lucky? Coincidentally the Citroen CS was my Missus' favourite car there too!
