Chelsea Cruise 70's Revival on-slaught (April 27th 2013)

[PRO35]

Hi Peeps,
One of the members on our Ford Zephyr-Modified and Custom site has put forward this great idea of a 70’s revival for all Custom/Modifield Zephyr-Zodiacs's & Old School Fords and more at the Chelsea Cruise on the last Saturday of this coming April and we want to get this out there hoping everyone past & present can turn up, even if you don’t have a Ford classic/custom/hotrod at the minute as the more people the merrier. Hope to see you all there !

Sounds good.

I might turn up............in a Fiat

[PRO35]

Will that be a Dino, a 130, or a 130 coupe by any chance?

[iva cosworth]

No, a 1997 Barchetta.....sorry wrong era

[PRO35]

Keep it a bit longer and it'll be in date

[iva cosworth]

I am the right era having first attended Chelsea in 1979/80 in a Cortina MK2 but

haven't been for quite a while now.

[lotus72]

would a 66 Mustang be ok?

Abso bloody lutely.

Chelsea cruise has always been open to ALL.

Just don't expect to be the main attraction if you turn up in a Micra/Corsa/Fiesta

[lotus72]

er,......& that FB link doesn't work.

[PRO35]

The Facebook link was just to give you the bigger picture so don't worry about it as its moved on down the page now.
The main thing is getting this out there and passing the word.
Cheers

I plan to be there in my 1975 MGB Roadster - sounds like a hoot !!

[Pothole]

You know onslaught is a single word, do you?

[PRO35]

Yep we do! but if thats made this stand out to you then we're half way there.

70's Revival cool does this qualify?Its a 69 model
Bodywork : Rough with signs of of abuse here and there & has been lowered in the last decade.
Interior : Dont want to know think the leather is starting to crack. Smells a bit musty
Engine: Def down on horsepower and may require the odd jump start
Fuel: Normally runs on 90% proof
Insurance: SAGA policy Fully insured against Fire theft & accidental death.
Mot will hopefully run out shortly.
If you see the mother in law she will be in red Jag which doesnt run too bad considering

Sounds excellent. How many cars are expected, roughly?

[PRO35]

Truthfully we haven't got a clue, but if we go by forum response and feedback then I have to say - we may have created a monster, Don't forget this has gone across other well known forum's as well. Think the organisers were just trying to re-create the good ol days when the Chelsea Cruise was buzzing with people 3 deep down the Kings Rd and surrounding areas. We know Custom Car and another Classics magazine will be there, in fact after after one of the organisers called them to explain the feedback they've had, they even added it to their events page last minute. There will also be a couple of floating cameramen capturing elements of the night for prosperity and once edited these will go on You Tube.

It wasn't about burnouts and loud music back then so didn't attract the wrong attention, plus there is CCTV all round that area that could focus on the fillings in your teeth! so be careful out there and enjoy the night

[ClassicMotorNut]

Thanks, it sounds like it's worth attending so we'll go if we can.

can you post some of the links or mail me?
I missed these in my youth but would be definitely up for popping down in one of mine.
Neither are classics, but what hopefully will still fit in.

Link was only to show the origins of the idea so no real difference to the original promo above although I have an update next post. Cheers.

Was up the Chelsea Cruise last night and managed to drive straight into the park car park with ease and that was about 8pm. Need to watch for speed bumps in the park as two are higher than the others as I found out. Gates officially close at 22:30 and cctv everywhere. Spoke to Pete boss of the burger bar (nice chap) and even he's excited and allowed us to stick flyers on his bar/hut. He also advised that if you park up before 19:00 anywhere along there - you will get a fine via cctv - BE WARNED.

What was great was everyone we handed these flyers to already knew about it via the forums! One bloke has cancelled his trip to Spain and changed his holiday just to be there, another is gonna put a flyer up the ACE Cafe. Feedback was great with peeps very excited and we even met the 'Raleigh Choppers' club with their pure 70's machinery up there and they want to come also....why not its all 70's.

Hi all, first post here, thought i would let you know that the OldSkoolFord crew are having a day meet at Boxhill (Rykers Cafe) and then coming up for the Cruise in the evening, think this is going to be a MAHOOSIVE nite,
See you there
cheers Paul
