If you don't do the Pomeroy, you should, it has so many interesting cars among the entry most years, of course if you are domiciled in the nether regions! Hard luck;

I dont think so, rbs, well done again. Outside chromed door hinges rethink. Even the '53 TD had suicide doors. Not a MG then?

I download pictures from my internet site or from DVDs, and end up with a lot of odd images, in a folder on the computer, that have not made it into a set, so I occasionally pot job lots. That is why you sometimes get these hodge podge groupings. Such as;

I went on a search once in an attempt to find the meaning of ‘Fly’ in the colour name, and guess what- there’s a lot of different opinions! Anything from ‘Ferrari Light Yellow to the tendency for yellow to attract flies!

Surprised to se a HK500 racing on track and RHD.

Good italian job, Bob! The "Toobolarrre" is almost perfect, élégante et racée chaque détail est inspiré par la fonction.

Easy... Sir Stirling owned one.

It is fascinating to find out so much about some of the images I stick up here. In many cases they are 'just' pictures that I hope someone will like, and then!

A stream of posts appear with chapter and verse on an obscure model, and it's antecedents. Such learned types populate this forum.
RBS, I expect you can identify the red Porsche's driver. Just hope he doesn't ever venture here. I might be shown up for the rank amateur I am.

Lets call that magic, if you like it! This thread is second to none, imo… Friendly and passioned atmosphere why ask for more? More pictures! Please.

Mike, you naughty boy!!! I guess the pictured HK has Dunlop disc brakes all round but what about the gearbox?
I guess you posted the link just for this: "The French are leaders in ashtray technology…" Unfair, Your honor!

No worry E.B, bauble could add Pétoulet, aka the very nice Maurice Trintignan. Dont go on the "crottes de lapins" thingy, we already did it!
Remember that, rbs?
Mike will for sure explain what point of regulation allows to drive a E with the "rear door" opened…

Picture from Sir Sterling Moss in Mike's link shows a Parisian avenue. Maybe George V, in front of a famous hotel. You could buy a Facel Vega from HWM, Walton-on-Thames. If any regret, phone # was 20404!
