That's nice, first registred two months after BRJ and has the very desireable "New Tan" upholstery.

Had a major restoration about 20 years ago apparently-may have had doors from a later car fitted at that time.
Obviously not totally original,but still very nice.
Made me realise how rare it is to see one of our cars on the road.

Some people are like Slinky's, they serve no real purpose in life but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Oh what a day to not have the camera handy....

A lovely 1920's or so Rolls Silver Ghost with polished alloy bonnet and the detachable trunk style boot. Huge car.....dwarfed and towered above us at a
roundabout in Esher.
Almost next car we passed or rather passed us down the A308 was a black Ferrari 458 Italia...my first one on the road...

Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.

Early Cuda burbled past me through Hartley Wintney last week, then roared off up Star Hill.
I need a muscle car of some description.
1978 Twilight Purple Dolomite 1850HL The Lolomite.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

A pristine dark green T2000 Mk1 purred past me tonight in Edinburgh, at the new Sainsbury store in Longstone, about 8:00 ish.
Got a friendly wave :bluewave: from the driver.
