The Coleford Canival of Transport is based in the small market town of Coleford, Gloucestershire, which also happens to be where my office is. It’s been running since 1998, and takes over most of the town on Easter Monday. As with most of these local car shows there was a wide variety of ‘ordinary’ cars, as well as a lot of various interesting things. No real exotica, but who needs that?
As to be exected from a UK event, Minis were well represented.
Lots of Americans turned up.
(This is why American cars didn’t really work in the UK!)
Now the Miss Mercedes Special Section!
There was a commercials Section
And this unusual lineup
A very orange BMW
And a very Purple Ford
Possibly the best looking cars ever made
One for a Thing Rarely Seen
Alpina Z4
We need more yellow cars!
We don’t really need more of these....
Spotted outside:
Yes, it’s a Subaru. Had a cage in it.
JDM yo!
Taxi!
As one of these seems to be compulsory in any post here...
Link to the Flickr Album with more as I’m fully expecting most of this to be Kinja’d

The Citroens, love them, especially that very pretty yellow GS Break! :D
Is it bad that I actually want a Trabant? :P The FIAT 126p is my first choice for an import, but I would love to have a garage with the 126p, a Trabant and a Skoda 105/120/130 Series in it! :P

I somehow never realized they sold Jeep Wranglers there. It seems like it would be a ridiculously-impractical and expensive vehicle to own there.

I do believe this is a Suzuki Swift.

We do get diesel ones, so they are slightly practical. They don’t sell very many, but I wonder if sales have picked up since the Defender went out of production?

Early 201s like that are pretty thin on the ground these days.

I guess that’s a point - it’s sort of the American version of the Defender, so that probably left a void in the market.

It appears someone swapped a Justy grill on this one. I wonder if it’s a 4WD one? It’s a 1.3 so it’s a possibility.
