Hi all

Today 26th July i went to the first Festival of the unexceptional held near Silverstone as an antidote to the Silverstone Classic.

It was great fun & Hagerty insurance who organised it have promised it will become an annual event.

I was invited to bring the Manta along with fifty other entrants limited to sixties seventies & eighties family cars that are now a rare site on uk roads

( Stags & MGB's were not allowed )  :)

 

Here are some pics i took & i've put them here in the form of a quiz for you knowledgeable Manta peeps, no prizes just a bit of fun when your bored.

I will put up the answer pics up tomorrow sometime.

.....and it's an Alfa Arna, not Cherry obviously due to the flat 4.

A mate of mines brother had a Cherry Turbo in that shape, wonder if the Alfa or Cherry Turbo is the more rare one now?

Looking at the lineup I would think that survival figures for the likes of the R30, R6, Arna etc could be in single figure digits by now.

Of course, 6 is a Charade, silly me.

 

The Cherry Europe also used the Alfa engine, though not sure if it was Alfa badged.

 

And now that Ben says Strada for the last one it makes sense, I thought the clocks looked familiar, similar to a Fiat 131 I think.

Love that Renault 30 apart from the appalling stripe down the side.  My Dad had a 20TL that colour back in 1978 - it was an ex motor show display car - the French had applied their usual attention to detail when it came to the wiring - press the button for the electric sunroof and the drivers window went down......

Seriously comfy car in the back - especially compared to the Morris Marina estate 1.3 deluxe it replaced. :)
