ME AGAIN! HOPEFULLY A QUICKEE FOR SOMEONE, WHERE & WHEN WAS THIS SHOW?? ANYONE REMEMBER IT?

CARS ARE THE FRENCH CONNECTION MUSTANG & THE OH VERY 70S STARLYTE CAPRI, ITS GOT IT ALL!!!

I THINK FRENCH CONNECTION IS STILL ABOUT?, NOT SURE IF ITS THE ORIGIONAL OR A REPLICA THOUGH?, I WONDER WHAT BECAME OF STARLYTE?

THE LAST 3 PICTURES MAY OR MAY NOT BE FROM THE SAME SHOW, THE TR6 HAS A BIRMINGHAM WORLD OF WHEELS 82 STICKER IN THE WINDOW & THE OPUS T HAS A 31ST OF DECEMBER 82 TAXDISC, THATS THE ONLY CLUES I CAN COME UP WITH, BUT THAT RED WHEEL THING IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE FIRST 2 PICS MAY JOG A MEMORY......

ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED.

PICS CAME FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE...:smoke:

The French Connection Mustang is restored back to it's former glory (by Ray Mumford) and was feaured in Classic American in May 2006.
The new owner at the time was Ian Budd.

 

[timetravel]

yes that TR6 seemed to be everywhere in the late 70s early 80s it was run by Richard Fox and the murals were the work of Geoff Ridgway and Phil Bassett........love that yella Opus on the end, no idea who's it was, never seen it before, it's great seeing all these pics you're finding of cars that never made it in the mags and would have been forgotten about had they not got posted on here :tup:

Nearly right Owned and restored by Ian Budd with help and advice from Mr Mumford............... Is that right George? Ian also has the Bullit mustang clone with the blessing of Ray........

The Starlyte capri was built across the street from me in Blyth Northumberland by John Chisholm. I had a small hand in helping fit the V8 but was quite young at the time so was probably more of a nuisance than a help. John's wife worked with my fiancee around 1986 and I'm almost certain he still had the car then. I left the north east in 1987 by which time the chisholms had left my street so I've no idea what became of the car.

John chisholm here, after many years of showing this car in various shapes and colours it was eventually sold in the 90,s and last year eventually scrapped - was sad to see the pics of it last year

 

[CRAIG]

Hi john i was a teenager when i first saw this car/wicked car in my eyes ,i definatly saw it at north wales show and maybe west midlands safari park.Did it have a SHY reg no

 

[johnchisholm]

You have a good memory did those shows a couple of times, still have the reg on my car now.
I'm looking for a copy of a video of the car moving, I never saw the chrome irs from behind or heard it go past with the exhaust cut-outs open.

 

[Russ D]

AHaaa here you are as well John, hunted for you for a year, now you're everywhere, welcome to R&S also. Gladly I can say that I followed that IRS a few times, I didn't say earlier but somewhere Ive got some vids of us all pulling out of Donny, dont know if you're on it but ill have a look when Ive chance to dig it out.

Russ.

 

[Russ D]

Ian Has Temple Island - Roller, French Connetion which hes just finishing a nut and bolt resto on and with agreement with Ray reproduced the Bullit clone. The original is still out there I believe now returned to stock.

 

[CRAIG]

Nothing to do with the capri but from the same time,this was a red flaked corsair with portholes in the roof.Deep buttoning dribble:tup:

 

[Russ D]

Yup, remember that too, now wheres that gone?.................

 

[johnchisholm]

This corsair was my first competitor for best paint, used to beat me quite often at first. He was also from the newcastle area.

If kevs marina was the chopped one, he once gave me a lift in it and I couln't see a thing out of the screen, being 6ft 2 the chop was a bit much for me
