Last weekend was a 60th anniversary one. The film club I'm being a member and the motorsport club I was a member.
The motorsport club's show has been overrun by a broad range of classic vehicles! Long queues at the entrance
Any space left?
Yes, later on
I'd like to start with the Feuerwehr vehicles :
Landy
2x Magirus, a ladder and our tanker
A Tranny ladder? No, it belongs to the Magirus shown above
The army vehicles:
'64 Daimler Ferret Scout car. It's been found at a Belgian (!) scrap yard and is now in the livery of the 1st Royal Tank Regiment
Driven by this 'Scotsman'
Willys Jeep
Two off-road vehicles - two fields of application
Bundeswehr Munga with dummy
No EVWs I'm afraid but a nice row of T2s
Karmann convertible, Type 3 Variant and Type 3 fastback interrupted by a Fiat Multipla
Vehicles came and went, the gap has been filled with a Citroen CX and a Maserati Ghibli? No, a rare Bitter CD based on an Opel Diplomat V8
Beetle convertible towing an Eriba Puck
Adjacent another (well-known) Puck towed by an Opel Kapitän
Accompanied by a Glas Goggomobil. Go, Goggo, go!
Ford Escort Mk I estate
The Capri Mk III fits in
Granada Mk II
This brings me on to some rare Brit cars on site:
Welsh Marcos Mini GT
Austin 7 Sports
'30 MG Midget
Wolseley Hornet Special and one of my favourites, an AC Cobra
Another must-have since ages, a '57 Chevy Bel Air in white over red!
Elvis! In the Back Seat Of My Cadillac ... er ... Chevrolet
Hot rods (and hot Scots?)
This one has a Beetle steering wheel
These BMWs were bargains when I was young!
Or the BMW 02 series, a pleasure to drive, whereas the Opel Olympias were all gone
When my uncle living far away showed up with such a '59 Opel Rekord in 1969 it was absolutely out of fashion
Surf Beetle (note bobblehead dachshund on rear shelf) and Triumph
Different back views
The massive one is a Rolls-Royce
Messerschmitt (wasn't allowed to manufacture aircraft anymore) bubble car convertible
Farm tractors:
Lanz Bulldog and its Polish replica Ursus
Porsche!
An Unimog towing a cart originally drawn by cows (the owner got a special permit; max. speed is limited to 20 km/h))
Kaelble HD tractor. Note matching beer set!
Last but not least the oldest car on site, a '11 Ford T
One won't drive it over a long distance, when an appropriate towing vehicle is at hand

Wow Roland, that's one heck of a show and a great photo set. Such a great variety of stuff though i was rather taken by the landy! Pretty unusual to see a Brit vehicle in the Feuerwehr ranks. We had a few Range Rovers 4x4 and 6x4s in fact my dad drove a radio one at one point (a bit like the one below). Thanks for sharing.
