| "BEX" The Concours years. |
| With the rebuild of C25 BEX completed during the winter of 1995/96 it was my hope to win a few awards at concours competitions organised by Fast Ford magazine at Ford Fair & the XR Owners Club national & regional day events.The car had been built to compete in the modified classes as this allows much more freedom to express your own preferences,whereas the standard classes are very strict-the car has to be exactly as it left the factory (with a few allowances for security devices,stereos etc). |
 |
| Ok,so this was actually September 1995,before the car was rebuilt but I thought i'd include it here to show that I didn't always wrap the car in cotton wool! This was at the XROC National day, Silverstone waiting to thrash the car round the national circuit. |
 |
| May 1996,Silverstone again but this time it was the XROC stand at "Top Gear Live" a 3 day show organised by the BBC Tv show of the same name.No concours competition but it was a superb day out. |
 |
 |
| August 1996 at the classic car show held annually at Knebworth in Hertfordshire...... |
| .......September & the XROC East Angian branch regional day.Here I got my first regional concours wins, including the judges "car of the show" award. |
 |
| At Ford Fair '96 I won 1st place in the modifed mk2 Fiesta class concours & at the XROC National day I won best modified mk2 XR2 |
 |
| In 1997 I managed a repeat performance at Ford Fair & the XROC National day. |
