After a sabbatical of two years and a change of venue, the Duchy Capri and Classic Ford Club put on their annual weekend show on 21-22 May. Held at the new venue of Mother Ivey’s Holiday Park, located on the outskirts of Padstow and with good weather forecast, a great selection of old and new Fords turned out in force.
Saturday saw a cruise take place taking on scenic routes ending up at Looe, with around 50 cars on the road.
Sunday was show day and the field was pretty full with everything ranging from Escorts, Capris and Cortinas to modern-day Focuses and Mondeos. Sadly, despite a big push there were few classic American or
there were very few classic Americans or hot rods – a shame, as they would have been welcome
hot rods – a real shame, as they would have been made welcome and not been out of place, but there’s always next year!
Entry was a mere £5 and there was plenty for people to do, from a couple of local caterers and an ice cream van to bouncy castles for the kids and a couple of autojumble stalls. All the money from the show was donated to Cornwall Blood Bikes and Wadebridge Food Bank.
The new venue seemed to be a great success and there are plenty of camp and holiday sites around the area. So if you fancy a trip to Cornwall next year, why not book this one in your calendars and make a holiday of it?

This flathead-powered F-47 is originally Canadian. Its elderly gentleman owner has just had it back from a major refurb, complete with modern driving upgrades Andy Boswarthick’s 105 Anglia runs on MX-5 running gear and banded steels Not your typical CC material, but this Sierra sporting a Ford 302 V8 was a perfectly executed sleeper
Strangely for a Ford show, only one Pop turned up – and a stocker at that Michael Fisher made the short trip from Newquay in his regularly used and raced ‘73 Mach 1 Mustang with Ford 302 powerplant
