EDITION 38 - 20th ANNIVERSARY '22

This had been on the calendar since the Early Edition show at the beginning of the season. Based on that I had expected the same style of show but on a much larger scale. Maybe it was busier on Friday/Saturday but I wouldn't believe there were more cars there than the first show at the airfield. The quality of the cars was fantastic, the event itself was well organised, and it was well attended, but the cars seemed to fizzle out much earlier in the field than previous shows. Compared to Elsecar, the space available seemed to be under utilised.

That being said, I had a lot of fun shooting different cars and I think there's a good amount of improvement from the coverage of the earlier show.

Two red MK2s to start the day, both slightly different styles. Spotted the first one here on the motorway going home, looks a treat although it's easy to forget how tiny they are next to modern cars.

Grams isn't a name I've seen too often on Euro cars; maybe it's more common for modern engines like this?

A favourite interior from Early Edition; 50/50 whether it's very itchy or very comfortable. Nonetheless, the best fabric I've seen in a Golf thus far.

All Correct

This car had it all right, one of my favourites of the day

Every car in this row was a stunner, especially the below blue MK1. The green Polo further up was gorgeous but I failed to get a good shot of it.

See the word 'motorsport', got to take a photo. This was an insanely clean MK1 Scirroco in a committed yellow/green colour. Fully stripped interior and one of the best engine presentations I've seen.

Definitely my favourite of the show, and featured more at the end of the page, with the cleanest style and a ridiculous intake pipe setup. Also discovered if I hold the camera almost touching the bonnet catch and point it straight down, I get the whole front end in.

20mm lens was made for this shot; the rear element is marked so it goes a bit soft, but when there's a lot of polished/chromed metal, it's the go-to. I believe the below turbo setup is the car that won the show, could be mistaken...

Not a bus man myself but this seat looks quite comfortable although the position you would have to curl up in to sit in this van might not be...

Instantly impressed when this rolled up. The colour isn't one I would immediately go for in my head, but works some magic with the bodywork. Terrible photo but I just wanted to remember this car.

Something to love on every car - the one this little bov was in wasn't my glass of juice, but I can appreciate the work in the bay.

I was too busy looking at all the other madness to notice the blue headers?

We stayed a while to hear the winners of the raffle and took to wandering around the car park. The amount of red dust on this Escort made the cleanliness of the show cars all the more impressive - every single car not in the show was covered in a thick layer of this.

Done. Maybe I'm full of VAG shows for this year, there must be a BMW one somewhere! Here's hoping The Driver's Collection has something more my speed and that I can get some worthwhile photos of what's there!
