Buckie Classic Car show Held In The LInzee Gordon park.
THEY were the motoring icons of their times and at Buckie Classic Car Show it was time to throw a party for the Mini and Capri as the models marked milestone anniversaries. For the affordable compact – immortalised in the film The Italian Job – and the sporty hatchback it was a case of 60 and 50 years young respectively as they took centre stage at the show in Linzee Gordon Park. Show organiser John Clark
said: “We knew it was a special year for both the Mini – which first went on order on August 26, 1959 – and the Capri so we decided to do something special to mark it. “It was great to see such a large turnout of both vehicles and it caused a lot of interest.” There were big anniversaries also for the Mercedes SL Roadster and the Rover 400 series, which clocked 30 years each.
